Questions people ask about Anthropic PBC

Where is Anthropic PBC's DPA?

Anthropic PBC publishes its customer data processing agreement at https://www.anthropic.com/legal/k12-dpa. We last opened that link on 26 September 2026.

Is Anthropic PBC's DPA the same thing as a data processing addendum?

Yes. A data processing agreement and a data processing addendum are two names for the document Article 28 of the GDPR requires between a controller and a processor; vendors use both, and some call it processor terms. What it has to contain does not change with the name. Anthropic PBC's is at https://www.anthropic.com/legal/k12-dpa.

Which legal entity does Anthropic PBC contract through?

Anthropic, PBC, registered in United States. That is the name to put in a record of processing or a sub-processor list, not the brand.

Where is Anthropic PBC's trust center?

Anthropic PBC publishes it at https://claude.com/product/claude-security. A trust center, trust page or security page is the same thing under different names: the vendor's own account of how it protects data, and the place it keeps its certifications. It is Anthropic PBC's page, so we link to it rather than repeat what it says.

What has changed, and when

Changes we noticed on Anthropic PBC's own pages and a person confirmed. The vendor does not publish this, and neither does anyone else.

1. 26 September 2026

   Anthropic removed the U.S. K-12 Data Processing Agreement from their documentation. This change removes a specialized data processing agreement that was previously available for K-12 educational institutions in the United States.
