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.
