When you use Claude with integrated third-party apps or follow links in Anthropic's services, your data goes directly to those third parties under their own privacy policies — Anthropic is not responsible for what those companies do with your information.
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
The clause delineates the scope of Anthropic's privacy obligations by clarifying that data collection occurring through third-party integrations or linked services falls outside Anthropic's responsibility and instead operates under the applicable third party's privacy practices. This provision allocates data governance responsibility between Anthropic and third-party service providers.
Removal of explicit third-party service integration disclosure may reduce transparency about data flows to external services.
View full change record →When you connect Claude to third-party applications or services, your personal data — including information about your Claude usage — is shared with those third parties under their own privacy policies, which Anthropic does not control and takes no responsibility for, creating potential privacy risks that are invisible to users at the point of integration.

"Third-Party Websites and Services: Our Services may involve integrations with, or may direct you to, websites, apps, and services managed by third parties. By interacting with these third parties, you are providing information directly to the third party and not Anthropic and subject to the third party's privacy policy. If you access third-party services, such as social media sites or other sites linked through the Services (e.g., if you follow a link to our Twitter account), these third-party services will be able to collect personal data about you, including information about your activity on the Services.— Excerpt from Anthropic's Anthropic Privacy Policy
1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: GDPR Art. 26 (joint controllers) and Art. 28 (processor obligations) are relevant where third-party integrations involve shared data processing. GDPR Art. 13/14 transparency requirements apply to data flows to third-party controllers. CCPA §1798.140(ad) defines 'third parties' in contrast to service providers, and disclosure to third parties without contractual restrictions constitutes a 'sale' or 'sharing' triggering opt-out rights. FTC Act Section 5 deceptive practices apply to inadequate disclosure of third-party data flows in agentic AI contexts. 2.
