What it is

Three separate cloud infrastructure providers (Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure) are listed as subprocessors for all Anthropic products, each with a worldwide processing location designation.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision discloses that customer data processed through any Anthropic product may be handled by three distinct hyperscale cloud providers across worldwide geographic regions, without specifying which provider processes which data category or in which specific region, which creates data mapping obligations for organizations subject to data residency or localization requirements.

Interpretive note: The document does not specify which cloud provider handles which data category or in which specific region within the worldwide designation, making precise transfer mechanism assessment dependent on additional documentation from Anthropic.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

This provision establishes that data across all Anthropic products is processed by Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure at worldwide locations, meaning data may traverse multiple jurisdictions depending on infrastructure routing decisions that are not further specified in this document.
