What it is

Anthropic states it does not sell your personal data under legal definitions, but it may share your data for targeted advertising of its own products, and you can opt out of this through your privacy settings or global privacy controls.

This analysis describes what Anthropic's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

While the no-sale claim is a consumer protection, users should note that targeted advertising data sharing is distinct from selling and may still occur unless you affirmatively opt out, including by enabling a global privacy control such as GPC in your browser.
