Claude Code

Claude Code is a coding assistant. Review the sign-in plan and provider: paid personal Pro or Max accounts do not automatically use commercial terms.

Risk score

3/10Low

Assessment across data handling, compliance, security and transparency.

Overview

Claude Code can work with a local repository and send context to its configured model provider. Anthropic classifies Free, Pro and Max as consumer plans, with a training preference that also applies to Claude Code. Team, Enterprise and API use have commercial terms; under those terms Anthropic does not train on code or prompts unless the customer opts into improvement. Confirm the actual provider, sign-in arrangement, retained copies and separate feedback flows.

Risk factors

2
  • Code, prompts and tool output may be sent to the configured model provider.
  • Local transcripts and optional feedback submissions create additional copies with separate retention conditions.

Recommendations

4
  • Confirm the actual account and applicable terms. Paying for a personal Pro or Max subscription does not make it a commercial arrangement.
  • Review effective file, tool and sandbox permissions with an isolated synthetic repository before using company code.
  • Inspect optional feedback and diagnostic submissions before sending them; their handling differs from an ordinary session.
  • Confirm any required DPA or zero-data-retention arrangement against the actual service and contract, rather than assuming a plan label supplies it.

Data handling

Storage
Local session files plus processing by the selected API/provider; connected tools can add recipients.
Retention
Varies by account, provider and feature. Commercial retention, approved ZDR and feedback uploads have different conditions; review local transcript retention too.
Training on inputs
Free, Pro and Max follow the consumer training preference. Commercial terms exclude model training unless the customer opts into improvement.
