Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

Millions of enterprise users interacting with Claude through their employers have no direct privacy relationship with Anthropic and must rely entirely on their employer's privacy practices for protection.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Anthropic collects your conversation content (prompts and outputs), device identifiers, usage patterns, and payment information when you use Claude.ai, and by default uses your conversations to train its AI models. Users who opt out of model training may still have their conversations used if those conversations are flagged for safety review, which is a significant limitation on the opt-out right. You can opt out of having your conversations used for model training by navigating to your account settings on Claude.ai, and you can delete individual conversations which are removed from your history immediately and purged from Anthropic's back-end within 30 days.

View original clause language
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.
