This provision establishes that Claude for Government operates on a distinct, isolated subprocessor infrastructure from all other Claude products, consistent with FedRAMP authorization requirements applicable to U.S. federal agency data. Compliance teams evaluating Claude for Government for federal procurement must confirm the applicable FedRAMP authorization level (Moderate, High, or tailored) and impact classification applicable to PFCS.
Interpretive note: The document does not specify the FedRAMP authorization level or impact classification applicable to PFCS, creating uncertainty for agency compliance assessments.
Under this provision, users of Claude for Government have their data processed exclusively within Palantir's FedRAMP-authorized cloud environment in the United States, with no data flows to the other 19 subprocessors listed for other Claude products. This establishes a separate and restricted data processing boundary for the government product line.
