Anthropic updated its Privacy Policy on June 9, 2026, with an effective date of July 8, 2026. The revised policy narrows its scope to clarify that it applies when Anthropic acts as a data controller for consumer services (Claude.ai, Claude Team), but not when it processes data on behalf of enterprise customers whose own data governance controls how their data is handled. The policy also expands the definition of 'Inputs' to explicitly include content submitted through third-party integrations and connected services, and clarifies that personal data or external references in Inputs may be reproduced in Outputs.
The updated policy clarifies that it applies when you use Anthropic's consumer services like Claude.ai or Claude Team, but does not govern your data when you access Anthropic products through your employer or an enterprise account. In that case, your employer's or enterprise customer's own data governance policies control how your data is handled. The policy also now explicitly states that personal data or external references included in your inputs to the service may be reproduced in the outputs generated in response.
Policy explicitly states it does not apply to data Anthropic processes on behalf of business customers; their customer agreements govern.
Inputs now explicitly include content submitted through third-party applications, services, and integrations.
