Compare across platforms →"You are able to interact with our Services in a variety of formats, including but not limited to chat, coding, agentic sessions (where Claude performs multi-step tasks or takes actions on your behalf), and connected services. The content you submit to the Services through these interactions, including via third-party applications, services, and content you choose to upload, integrate or interact with using our Services, are your 'Inputs'. Inputs generate responses and actions ('Outputs'). If you include personal data or reference external content in your Inputs, we will collect that information and it may be reproduced in your Outputs. Depending on the permissions you grant Claude, some Outputs may result in actions with effects outside the Services, such as sending communications, modifying files, or interacting with third-party services on your behalf.Excerpt from Anthropic's Privacy Policy (Superseded Capture)
