Claude Code
Anthropic's official CLI for Claude — terminal-based agentic coding assistant.
Risk score
Assessment across data handling, compliance, security and transparency.
Overview
Claude Code is Anthropic's command-line interface for Claude, designed for agentic software-engineering workflows. Runs locally in the user's terminal and connects to the Anthropic API. Conversation data is governed by Anthropic's commercial terms when authenticated through a paid plan; the API does not use prompts/completions to train Anthropic's models by default.
Risk factors
2- Source code from the developer's working directory may be transmitted to Anthropic for inference
- Locally-stored conversation logs and tool-call history accumulate on the developer machine
Recommendations
4- Use a paid Anthropic plan (Pro / Team / Enterprise) so commercial terms apply — not the free consumer terms
- Configure project-level allow/deny lists for tools and files via .claude/settings.json
- Avoid running Claude Code with --dangerously-skip-permissions on shared / production machines
- For regulated workloads, use the Enterprise plan with the signed DPA + zero-retention add-on
Data handling
- Storage
- Inference on Anthropic infrastructure (AWS); conversation logs stored locally on the developer machine
- Retention
- 30 days for API logs by default; zero-retention available on Enterprise
- Training on inputs
- Off by default — Anthropic does not train on commercial API or product data
