Anthropic collects identity and account data, all prompts and responses, and coding sessions. Consumer users can opt in to having conversations used for model training with data retained up to 5 years. API and commercial customers are unaffected: their data is never used for training. With training off, 30-day retention for safety then deleted. No advertising business; data never sold. Dedicated Privacy Center at privacy.claude.com.

The company explicitly acknowledges that sharing with business partners may constitute a data sale under US law (CCPA). Full GDPR-grade rights are reserved for EEA/UK/Swiss residents; everyone else gets basic access and deletion with no response-time commitments. Retention timelines are vague and there are no named security certifications or breach notification windows.
