Anthropic updates their terms to verify age or identity

EnglishThis policy was published on June 8, 2026 with an effective date of July 8, 2026. Anthropic is an AI safety and research company working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and process your personal data when you use our website, Claude.ai, or other Anthropic products and services (the “Services”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to content that we process on behalf of customers of our business offerings, such as our Enterprise accounts. Our use of that data is governed by our customer agreements covering access to and use of those offerings. Please see our Non-User Privacy Policy for information on how our large language models are ‘trained’ and how personal data obtained from third party sources, including where others may submit personal data when using our services, may be used when developing or delivering our products and services. This Privacy Policy also describes your privacy rights. More information about your rights, and how to exercise them, is set out in Section 4 (“Rights and Choices”). If you are located in Canada, Brazil, or the Republic of Korea, please read the relevant Regional Supplemental Disclosure which applies to you. If you are located in Washington or a state with similar consumer health data laws, please read our Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy which applies to you if you integrate third party health applications with Claude. We collect the following categories of personal data: When you provide Inputs—including by uploading files, granting Claude access to third-party services, or instructing Claude to retrieve or act on information—you are responsible for ensuring you have the necessary rights, permissions, or authority to do so. When you use the Services, we also receive certain technical data automatically (described below, collectively “Technical Information”). This includes: Anthropic obtains personal data from third party sources in order to train our models. Specifically, we train our models using data from the following sources: For more information about how we collect and use personal data to develop our language models that power our Services, the steps we take to minimize the privacy impact on individuals through the training process, and your choices with respect to that information, please see our separate Non-User Privacy Policy. We use your personal data for the following purposes: We may use your Inputs and Outputs to train and improve Anthropic AI models, unless you opt out through your account settings. Even if you opt-out, we will use Inputs and Outputs for model improvement when: (i) your conversations are flagged for safety review to improve our ability to detect harmful content, enforce our policies, or advance AI safety research, or (ii) you've explicitly reported the materials to us (for example via our feedback mechanisms). Please see Section 10 below for details of our legal bases for processing your personal data. Anthropic will disclose personal data to, or receive personal data from, the following categories of third parties for the purposes explained in this Policy: Anthropic may also receive or disclose personal data in the following circumstances: You can find information about the third parties Anthropic engages to help us process personal data here. Depending on where you live and the laws that apply in your country of residence, you may enjoy certain rights regarding your personal data, as described further below. However, please be aware that these rights are limited, and that the processes by which we may need to action your requests regarding our training dataset are complex. We may also decline a request if we have a lawful reason for doing so. That said, we strive to prioritize the protection of personal data, and comply with all applicable privacy laws. To exercise your rights, you or an authorized agent may submit a request by contacting us. After we receive your request, we may verify it by requesting information sufficient to confirm your identity (e.g. email address, billing details). Where a third party representative submits a request on behalf of a data subject, we require evidence of authorization to act on behalf of the data subject. We will respond to your request within the period required by the data protection law that applies to you. For example, where the EU GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we will respond within one calendar month of receiving a verifiable request, and where your request is complex or you have made a number of requests within a short timeframe, we may extend that period by up to a further two months. Where another law applies to you and sets a different period, we will respond within that period. You may also have the right to appeal requests that we deny by emailing privacy@anthropic.com. Anthropic will not discriminate based on the exercising of privacy rights you may have. Set out below is a sum
