This clause delineates the scope of Anthropic's Privacy Policy by carving out commercial use cases where Anthropic provides backend processing services. The distinction clarifies that responsibility for data handling practices lies with the commercial entity that has contracted Anthropic's services, not with Anthropic under this policy.
Users accessing Claude through employer-provisioned accounts or third-party applications powered by Claude backend services operate under the privacy policies of their organization or the application provider, not under Anthropic's standalone Privacy Policy. This mechanism shifts the primary point of reference for understanding data handling practices away from Anthropic's disclosed policies.

"This Privacy Policy does not apply where Anthropic acts as a data processor and processes personal data on behalf of commercial customers using Anthropic's Commercial Services – for example, your employer has provisioned you a Claude for Work account, or you're using an app that is powered on the back-end with Claude. In those cases, the commercial customer is the controller, and you can review their policies for more information about how they handle your personal data.— Excerpt from Anthropic's Anthropic Privacy Policy
