When a company procures an AI API service, legal, finance, and security each bring their own checklist. This page gathers the compliance-relevant facts about LMU AI in one place so you can check them off item by item; every entry links to a way to verify it yourself or to the detailed documentation.

## Filings [#filings]

LMU AI holds the following filings:

* **ICP filing** (primary domain lmuai.com): 京ICP备2020034311号-7, verifiable by entering the domain in the [MIIT ICP filing system](https://beian.miit.gov.cn/)
* **Public-security filing**: 京公网安备11010602202500号, verifiable by number on the [national internet security service platform](https://beian.mps.gov.cn/#/query/webSearch?code=11010602202500)
* **AI service filing**: Beijing-LMUAI-20251201S0138, published in the [Beijing generative AI service registration announcement](https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/hjohOPflTZ96yQQW4mXwKg)

## Data residency and retention [#data-residency-and-retention]

The three principles that matter most to enterprises (full details in [Data & privacy](/en/docs/guide/privacy)):

* **Account data never leaves China**: email, phone number, orders, API keys and other account data are stored only within China, with no cross-border transfer
* **Request content is never persisted**: prompts and model responses are released from memory once forwarding completes — never written to any database or file
* **Metadata kept for 90 days**: call time, model, and token usage needed for billing and troubleshooting are retained for 90 days, stored within China

<Callout type="warn" title="Honest disclosure on cross-border channels">
  Upstream model providers (Claude, GPT, etc.) run their servers overseas, so request and response bodies pass through overseas channels in transit — the necessary technical path for reaching overseas LLMs. The channels persist no data, carry no account identity, and are TLS-encrypted end to end. Do not send state secrets, trade secrets, national ID numbers, or other highly sensitive content through the API; if you have such requirements, discuss a private gateway with the business team.
</Callout>

## Procurement and finance [#procurement-and-finance]

* **Contracts**: enterprise tiers support signing a procurement contract
* **Invoices**: VAT invoices supported; submit the invoice title and tax ID when ordering or during the business contact
* **Reconciliation**: the console provides usage detail, and the [usage-export API](/en/docs/api/usage-export) enables automated reconciliation

## Enterprise compliance support [#enterprise-compliance-support]

The following are arranged through the business channel (email [business@lmuai.com](mailto:business@lmuai.com), WeChat 18599001010):

* Data processing agreement (DPA) signing
* Custom log-retention policies and optional audit logs
* Private gateway deployment (request content bypasses shared channels)
* Supporting materials for MLPS (等保), GDPR, and SOC 2 compliance inquiries

<Callout type="info" title="How we word this page">
  This page lists only items that are verified, externally checkable, or contractually committable today. For certifications or qualifications not covered here, please confirm through the business contact; the contract governs.
