Anthropic changes data retention policy after enterprise pushback
decoder ·
Anthropic is adjusting its data retention policy after pushback from enterprise clients. Since June, the company had stored customer data from its Mythos and Fable models, plus future flagship models, for 30 days on its own servers to detect cyberattacks. The company admitted this rule was unpopular and posed a business risk. Under the new setup, the 30-day retention window remains, but the data will be stored in the customer's cloud instead of with Anthropic. Anthropic reportedly spent months building the system alongside more than 100 customers from regulated industries. Rival OpenAI is testing a different approach with Databricks and Microsoft that also aims to balance security and data control. Anthropic developer Boris Cherny confirmed the plans publicly, and the changes are expected to arrive this fall.
