Anthropic updated its Privacy Policy effective July 8, 2026 with revisions to the scope of coverage and data categories. The prior policy covered personal data collection across website, Claude.ai, and commercial products. The updated policy narrows the primary scope to 'website, Claude.ai, or other Anthropic products and services' and clarifies that data processed on behalf of business customers (such as Enterprise accounts) falls outside this policy and is governed instead by customer agreements. The policy also expands the definition of Inputs to explicitly include content uploaded, integrated, or interacted with via third-party applications and services.
The updated privacy policy clarifies that it applies to personal data collection when you use Claude.ai and other Anthropic consumer products, but does not apply if your organization has provisioned you a business account (such as Claude for Work or Enterprise accounts). Under the revised terms, if you are using a business account, the policy that governs your personal data is your organization's agreement with Anthropic, not this consumer privacy policy. The policy also expands the definition of Inputs you submit to include content you upload, integrate, or interact with via third-party applications and services connected to Claude.
The updated policy clarifies which Anthropic customers are covered under this consumer privacy framework versus business agreements. This distinction affects how organizations manage downstream vendor data processing obligations and shapes where applicable privacy law requirements (GDPR, CCPA) are operationalized. The expanded Inputs definition explicitly discloses that third-party integrations and uploaded content are collected and may be reproduced in Outputs.
Data processed on behalf of Enterprise customers is no longer covered by this consumer privacy policy and instead governed by customer agreements.
Inputs now explicitly include content uploaded, integrated, or interacted with via third-party applications and services.

This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This change operationalizes a scope distinction between consumer and business use cases. The prior policy language was ambiguous about whether it covered all personal data Anthropic processes or only data processed when acting as a controller. The updated policy explicitly states it does not apply to content processed on behalf of business customers, and that such processing is governed by customer agreements. This creates clarity for downstream organizations using Anthropic's Enterprise offerings: their own privacy policies and data processing obligations will be shaped by their vendor agreement with Anthropic, not by this public-facing consumer policy. Organizations with Anthropic in their vendor stack should confirm that their Data Processing Agreement (DPA) or equivalent provision covers the scope of personal data processing Anthropic conducts on their behalf.
