## Evidence (verbatim, with provenance)

### training use — risk high

> We may use your Inputs and Outputs to train our models and improve our Services, unless you opt out through your account settings. Even if you opt-out, we will use Inputs and Outputs for model improvement when: (1) your conversations are flagged for safety review to improve our ability to detect harmful content, enforce our policies, or advance AI safety research, or (2) you've explicitly reported the materials to us (for example via our feedback mechanisms).

- Interpretation (disclaimed): The clause grants Anthropic a broad default right to use inputs and outputs for model training, with an opt-out mechanism that is materially limited by two exceptions. The safety-review carve-out in particular is broad and discretionary, meaning a user's opt-out election may be overridden by Anthropic's internal content moderation decisions.

 Legitimate interests
 It is in our legitimate interests and in the interest of Anthropic users to evaluate the use of the Services and adoption of new features to inform the development of future features and improve direction and development of the Services.

- Interpretation (disclaimed): Using legitimate interests as a legal basis for model training is contested under EU/UK GDPR. Users have an objection right, but the policy does not proactively highlight this for the training purpose. The dual legal basis (consent + LI) creates ambiguity about when each applies.

> Utilization of inputs and outputs to train an AI model (e.g., “model scraping” or “model distillation”) without prior authorization from Anthropic

- Interpretation (disclaimed): The restriction is framed as a prohibited user behavior under the AUP, not as a bilateral obligation. The document is silent on Anthropic's own training-use rights over user-submitted content, which is a significant gap for risk assessment. Users who wish to fine-tune competing models using Claude outputs are expressly prohibited without authorization.

> We may process personal data in an aggregated or de-identified form to analyze the effectiveness of our Services, conduct research, study user behavior, and train our AI models as permitted under applicable laws. For instance:
 When you submit Feedback, we disassociate Inputs and Outputs from your user ID to use them for training and improving our models.
 If our systems flag Inputs or Outputs for potentially violating our  Usage Policy , we disassociate the content from your user ID to train our trust and safety internal classification and generative models. However, we may re-identify the Inputs or Outputs to enforce our Usage Policy with the responsible user if necessary.

- Interpretation (disclaimed): Under GDPR and similar laws, truly anonymous data falls outside data protection scope, but the explicit re-identification capability suggests the data may not qualify as fully anonymous, raising Art. 4(1) personal data concerns. The training use is based on legitimate interests, which users may object to.

> When you access our website or Services, your personal data may be transferred to our servers in the US, or to other countries outside the European Economic Area ( “EEA” ) and the UK. This may be a direct provision of your personal data to us, or a transfer that we or a third party make.
 Where information is transferred outside the EEA or the UK, we ensure it benefits from an adequate level of data protection by relying on:
 Adequacy decisions.   These are decisions from the European Commission under Article 45 GDPR (or equivalent decisions under other laws) where they recognise that a country outside of the EEA offers an adequate level of data protection. We transfer your information as described in “Collection of Personal Data” to some countries with adequacy decisions, such as the countries listed  here ; or
 Standard contractual clauses.   The European Commission has approved contractual clauses under Article 46 GDPR that allows companies in the EEA to transfer data outside the EEA. These (and their approved equivalent for the UK and Switzerland) are called standard contractual clauses. We rely on standard contractual clauses to transfer information as described in “Collection of Personal Data” to certain affiliates and third parties in countries without an adequacy decision.
 In certain situations, we rely on derogations provided for under applicable data protection law to transfer information to a third country.

- Interpretation (disclaimed): This segment permits Anthropic to process personal data in aggregated or de-identified form for research, analytics, and AI model training, and describes specific de-identification procedures for feedback and safety-flagged content, while noting the possibility of re-identification, establishing a qualified permission for de-identified training data use.

> 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 and other places where Anthropic acts as a  data controller —for example, when you interact with Claude.ai or other products as a consumer for personal use (" Services ") or when Anthropic operates and provides our commercial customers and their end users with access to our commercial products, such as the Claude Team plan (“ Commercial Services ”).
 This Privacy Policy does not apply where Anthropic acts as a  data processor  and processes personal data on behalf of commercial customers using Anthropic’s Commercial Services – for example, your employer has provisioned you a Claude for Work account, or you're using an app that is powered on the back-end with Claude. In those cases, the commercial customer is the controller, and you can review their policies for more information about how they handle your personal data.
 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”).

> 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 and other places where Anthropic acts as a  data controller —for example, when you interact with Claude.ai or other products as a consumer for personal use (" Services ") or when Anthropic operates and provides our commercial customers and their end users with access to our commercial products, such as the Claude Team plan (“ Commercial Services ”).
 This Privacy Policy does not apply where Anthropic acts as a  data processor  and processes personal data on behalf of commercial customers using Anthropic’s Commercial Services – for example, your employer has provisioned you a Claude for Work account, or you're using an app that is powered on the back-end with Claude. In those cases, the commercial customer is the controller, and you can review their policies for more information about how they handle your personal data.
 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”).

 Where information is transferred outside the EEA or the UK, we ensure it benefits from an adequate level of data protection by relying on:

We transfer your information as described in “Collection of Personal Data” to some countries with adequacy decisions, such as the countries listed  here ; or
 Standard contractual clauses.   The European Commission has approved contractual clauses under Article 46 GDPR that allows companies in the EEA to transfer data outside the EEA. These (and their approved equivalent for the UK and Switzerland) are called standard contractual clauses. We rely on standard contractual clauses to transfer information as described in “Collection of Personal Data” to certain affiliates and third parties in countries without an adequacy decision.
 In certain situations, we rely on derogations provided for under applicable data protection law to transfer information to a third country.

You waive any opposition to such injunctive relief, as well as any demand that we prove actual damage or post a bond or other security in connection with such injunctive relief.

- Interpretation (disclaimed): This clause is a pre-agreed stipulation for injunctive relief. By accepting these Terms, users concede irreparable harm and waive procedural safeguards (proof of actual damage, bond requirement) that courts would otherwise impose before granting an injunction. This materially weakens user defenses in any enforcement action related to acceptable use.

> You can read more about our Safeguards practices and recommendations in our Safeguards Support Center .
 This Usage Policy is calibrated to strike an optimal balance between enabling beneficial uses and mitigating potential harms. Anthropic may enter into contracts with certain governmental customers that tailor use restrictions to that customer’s public mission and legal authorities if, in Anthropic’s judgment, the contractual use restrictions and applicable safeguards are adequate to mitigate the potential harms addressed by this Usage Policy.

- Interpretation (disclaimed): This segment carves out an exception to the standard Usage Policy by permitting Anthropic to enter tailored contracts with governmental customers that modify use restrictions, subject to Anthropic's judgment that safeguards are adequate — creating a conditional exception to universal enforcement standards.

> This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and process your personal data when you use our website and other places where Anthropic acts as a  data controller —for example, when you interact with Claude.ai or other products as a consumer for personal use (" Services ") or when Anthropic operates and provides our commercial customers and their end users with access to our commercial products, such as the Claude Team plan (“ Commercial Services ”).
 This Privacy Policy does not apply where Anthropic acts as a  data processor  and processes personal data on behalf of commercial customers using Anthropic’s Commercial Services – for example, your employer has provisioned you a Claude for Work account, or you're using an app that is powered on the back-end with Claude. In those cases, the commercial customer is the controller, and you can review their policies for more information about how they handle your personal data.

- Interpretation (disclaimed): The policy distinguishes between Anthropic as controller (consumer/Claude.ai users) and Anthropic as processor (enterprise/employer-provisioned users). Enterprise end-users must look to their employer's privacy policy, not Anthropic's, for data rights—creating a potential gap in protections.

> Subscription term and automatic renewal.  If you sign up for a paid Subscription, we or the App Distributor will automatically charge your Payment Method on each agreed-upon periodic renewal date until you cancel. If your Subscription has a minimum term (the “ Initial Term ”), we will let you know during the order process. Your Subscription will last for the Initial Term and will automatically renew, and your Payment Method will be charged, at the end of the Initial Term for an additional term equal in duration to the Initial Term and will continue to renew and incur charges for additional terms equal in duration to the Initial Term (each such additional term, a “ Renewal Term ”) until you cancel.
 Subscription cancellation.  If you subscribed via our website, you may cancel your Subscription for any reason by using a method we may provide to you through our products—for example, for Claude Pro, in your customer portal—or by notifying us at support@anthropic.com . If you subscribed via an app, you’ll need to cancel via the App Distributor according to the App Distributor’s terms. Learn more here . To avoid renewal and charges for the next Renewal Term, cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the last day of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term. For example, if you subscribe on January 25th for a Subscription with a one-month Initial Term, you must cancel the Subscription per the instructions by February 23rd (24 hours before February 24th) to avoid renewal and charges for the next Renewal Term.

 Additional cancellation rights. If you are a resident of Brazil, Mexico, South Korea, or Taiwan, you have a legal right to change your mind and cancel the Subscription within 7 days of entering into the Subscription without giving a reason. To exercise the right to cancel in the 7-day cancellation period, you must inform us of your decision to cancel the Subscription by making a clear statement to us of such decision before the cancellation period has expired. The easiest way to do this is by cancelling your subscription in the customer portal, or you may contact us at support@anthropic.com. You may also use the model cancellation form in Appendix 1 of these Terms, but it is not obligatory. For further details on how to cancel, please see support.anthropic.com. We will acknowledge your cancellation, e.g., through our online customer portal or console.
 If you cancel the Subscription under Section 6(4)(a), we will reimburse you all payments received from you for the cancelled Subscription. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel the Subscription.

> A note about accuracy: Services like ChatGPT generate responses by reading a user’s request and, in response, predicting the words most likely to appear next. In some cases, the words most likely to appear next may not be the most factually accurate. For this reason, you should not rely on the factual accuracy of output from our models. If you notice that ChatGPT output contains factually inaccurate information about you and you would like to request a correction or removal of the information, you can submit these requests through privacy.openai.com ⁠ (opens in a new window) or to dsar@openai.com ⁠ , and we will consider your request based on applicable law and the technical capabilities of our models.

- Interpretation (disclaimed): Disclaims reliance on the factual accuracy of AI-generated output by explaining that ChatGPT predicts likely words rather than guaranteed facts, and provides a procedure for requesting correction or removal of inaccurate personal information in outputs.

> Batch arbitration. If 25 or more claimants represented by the same or similar counsel file demands for arbitration raising substantially similar Disputes within 90 days of each other, then you and OpenAI agree that NAM will administer them in batches of up to 50 claimants each (“Batch”), unless there are less than 50 claimants in total or after batching, which will comprise a single Batch. NAM will administer each Batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one arbitrator, one set of arbitration fees, and one hearing held by videoconference or in a location decided by the arbitrator for each Batch. If any part of this section is found to be invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claimant or Batch, it will be severed and arbitrated in individual proceedings.
