When does Anthropic (Claude) trigger privacy obligations?
What data flows start immediately
The moment you integrate Anthropic's Claude API into your product, user prompts and inputs flow to Anthropic's servers in the United States. This triggers obligations under GDPR (if your users include EU residents), CCPA (if you serve California residents), and sector-specific laws if you handle health data, payment information, or children's data.
Regulatory thresholds and jurisdiction
GDPR (Articles 6, 13, 14): If any user is in the EU, you must have a lawful basis for processing (typically consent under Article 6(1)(a)) and must provide transparency notices before or at collection (Article 13). Since Anthropic processes data in the US, you likely need Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or another adequacy mechanism—a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Anthropic is mandatory.
