This provision establishes the procedural requirements for exercising data subject rights under Anthropic's policy, including identity verification requirements that apply to all requests and authorization evidence requirements for third-party representatives. The policy notes that processes for acting on training dataset requests are complex, which may affect the practical ability to fulfill deletion or correction requests involving data used in AI model training.
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.
View change record →The updated policy now explicitly discloses that Anthropic may collect biometric data, including facial geometry templates and images of government-issued identity documents, to verify age or identity in certain circumstances. The policy also clarifies that if you participate in research studies or surveys, Anthropic may combine your responses with other account data for aggregated analysis. Additionally, the policy expands the circumstances under which your inputs and outputs may be used for model training even if you opt out, including when conversations are flagged for safety review or when you explicitly report materials. You can opt out of model training through your account settings, but this opt-out does not apply to safety-flagged conversations or explicitly reported content.

Compare across platforms →"To exercise your rights, you or an authorized agent may submit a request by contacting us. After we receive your request, we may verify it by requesting information sufficient to confirm your identity (e.g. email address, billing details). Where a third party representative submits a request on behalf of a data subject, we require evidence of authorization to act on behalf of the data subject. We will respond to your request within the period required by the data protection law that applies to you. For example, where the EU GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we will respond within one calendar month of receiving a verifiable request, and where your request is complex or you have made a number of requests within a short timeframe, we may extend that period by up to a further two months.Excerpt from Anthropic's Privacy Policy
