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.
