Anthropic supports a variety of ways to allow people to control their content and personal information. As a site owner, you can control what shows up in Claude outputs that use web search. As a user or member of the public, you can report problematic content that another user shares publicly or that you receive in a Claude output. For each type of concern, follow the reporting instructions below.
Please note, we reserve the right to suspend users who frequently provide manifestly illegal content and suspend the processing of notices for users who frequently submit notices which are manifestly unfounded. We will provide a warning before suspension.
How to report safety issues
We welcome reports concerning safety issues so that we can enhance the safety and harmlessness of our models. We would also like to hear from you if you identify our safety mechanisms causing any user experience issues. Please report such issues to usersafety@anthropic.com with enough detail for us to replicate the issue.
Help us improve AI safety by reporting universal jailbreaks
This form allows you to submit universal jailbreaks for ASL-3 uses of concern (meaning elicit information related to biological threats) that you've identified. Universal jailbreaks are techniques that allow users to consistently bypass safety measures across multiple harmful queries. Thank you very much for helping us to keep Anthropic safe.
