Anthropic updated its Privacy Policy effective date from July 8, 2026 to September 10, 2026 and substantially restructured its Korea-specific disclosures. The prior Korea section listed a domestic representative and data processor contact; the updated version expands this into a formal addendum that clarifies Anthropic's data collection practices for Korean residents, including identity verification and fraud detection using name, birthdate, sex, native-foreigner-code, and DI (duplication information), with retention until account deletion. The updated terms also disclose overseas transfer of personal data to Persona (US-based) for fraud and abuse detection with a 3-year retention period, and establish a mechanism for Korean residents to request non-transfer of personal data, though Anthropic notes this may limit service availability.
Consumers: Korean users are now told what specific personal data Anthropic collects for identity verification and fraud detection, and how long it keeps it.
Consumers: Korean users are told their data may be sent to a US company for fraud detection, and they can ask Anthropic not to do this, but Anthropic may not be able to provide all services if they do.
The updated terms establish expanded disclosures for Korean residents regarding personal data collection and processing. Anthropic now explicitly states it collects identity verification and fraud detection data (name, birthdate, sex, native-foreigner-code, and DI) retained until account deletion, and transfers this data overseas to Persona (US-based) for fraud and abuse detection with a 3-year retention period. The updated terms authorize this overseas transfer under PIPA Article 28-8(1)(iii) delegation. You can request that your personal data not be transferred overseas by emailing privacy@anthropic.com or contacting the Data Protection Officer at dpo@anthropic.com, though Anthropic states this may limit service availability.
→ Review the updated Korea-specific disclosures to understand what personal data Anthropic collects and how it is transferred overseas.
→ If you do not want your personal data transferred overseas, contact privacy@anthropic.com or dpo@anthropic.com to request non-transfer, understanding that this may limit service availability.
