Companies change their terms without announcing it. We capture governance documents, compare each new version with the last, and publish what changed, with the source text behind it. One email a week on what we found and what we could not reach.
This page describes what the document states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
This document lists the outside companies Anthropic sends user data to, what each company does with it, and which Anthropic products are involved. Every Anthropic product routes data through at least three major cloud providers operating worldwide. Depending on which product you use, your data may also be shared with companies handling tasks like identity verification, billing, fraud detection, or customer support.
This document establishes Anthropic's sub-processor relationships, identifying the third-party entities to which Anthropic shares data, the purpose of each sharing arrangement, the products covered, and the operating jurisdiction of each sub-processor. Three cloud infrastructure providers—Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure—receive data across all Anthropic products worldwide. Additional sub-processors handle specialized functions including fraud and abuse detection, identity verification, billing, user support, web search, traffic routing, text-to-speech, and FedRAMP cloud services, each scoped to specific products and geographies. Product-level scoping limits certain arrangements: Palantir Federal Cloud Service is exclusive to Claude for Government; Persona and Yoti are limited to Claude Free, Pro, and Max; Stripe covers Claude Pro/Max, Claude Developer Platform, and Claude for Work; ElevenLabs is limited to Claude for Work; and Boldr and Arkose Labs serve all products except Claude for Government.
Users of any Anthropic product have their data processed by Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, Cloudflare, and Brave Search, all operating at a global or worldwide scale. Users of Claude Free, Pro, or Max additionally have identity-related data shared with Persona (United States) and Yoti (United Kingdom) for fraud detection and identity verification. Users of Claude Pro/Max, Claude Developer Platform, or Claude for Work have billing data shared with Stripe in the United States. Claude for Government users have their data handled exclusively by Palantir Federal Cloud Service in the United States and are excluded from the Boldr, Arkose Labs, Persona, Yoti, and Stripe arrangements. Users who want to understand which sub-processors apply to their specific product can consult this list to identify the relevant entities and their locations.
