- ### Section 01: Collection of Consumer Health Data + ### 01Collection of Consumer Health Data This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and process “consumer health data” in the event that we process such data. This Consumer Health Data Privacy Policy applies only 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”). These supplemental disclosures contain additional information relevant to residents of Washington or residents in states with similar “consumer health data” laws. This content should be read in conjunction with the rest of our Privacy Policy. In case of conflict between our Privacy Policy and these supplemental disclosures, the supplemental disclosures shall prevail, where applicable. ## 1. Collection of Consumer Health Data We collect the following categories of consumer health data where you provide it to us directly, including if you elect to connect a third-party application to Claude.ai that contains your consumer health data: - Information about your health-related conditions, symptoms, status, diagnoses, medical interventions, surgeries, procedures, testing, or treatments; - Vital signs, bodily functions, symptoms, or health measurements that reveal your health status; - Information about your use or purchase of prescribed medication; - Biometric and genetic data; - Precise location information; - Information, including location or precise location information, that could identify your attempt to seek health care services or supplies; and - Other information that may be used to infer or derive consumer health data. For additional information about the types of data we collect and how we collect it, please review “1. Collection of Personal Data” in our Privacy Policy. You can revoke your consent to third-party integrations that may provide Claude.ai access to consumer health data at any time in your Settings. ## 2. Uses of Consumer Health Data Permitted Under Applicable Data Protection Laws We use your consumer health data for the following purposes: - To integrate your third party health application with Claude.ai so that you share your data with Claude to discuss; - To prevent and investigate fraud, abuse, and violations of our Usage Policy, unlawful or criminal activity, unauthorized access to or use of personal data or Anthropic systems and networks, to protect our rights and the rights of others, and to meet legal, governmental and institutional policy obligations; - In an aggregated form, to help us develop, test and improve our services. We may seek your consent to certain uses of consumer health data in accordance with applicable laws. For example, we may seek your consent to integrate with a third-party health app and collect and process data we collect through the integration. For additional information about how we use data, please review “2. Uses of Personal Data Permitted Under Applicable Data Protection Laws” in our Privacy Policy. ## 3. How We Disclose Consumer Health Data Anthropic will disclose the categories of consumer health data described above to the categories of third parties described in “3. How We Disclose Personal Data” in our Privacy Policy. For example, if you choose to integrate the Services with websites, apps, and services managed by third parties, by interacting with these third parties, you may choose to provide information directly to the third party via the Services. To learn more about your third party integrations, please review Setting Up Claude Integrations. ## 4. Rights and Choices You may be entitled, in accordance with applicable law, to submit a request to know, access, or delete the consumer health data we have collected about you or withdraw consent to our use of consumer health data. Anthropic gives you access to a variety of tools to help you manage your data. You can access these in your Privacy Settings.
