About the Development Partner Program

Updated today

The Development Partner Program is an optional, transparent way for organizations to help shape the future of Claude while maintaining control over their data.

By default, Anthropic doesn’t train our generative models on your content. This commitment to privacy is core to how we build our products and services. Learn more about our commitment to privacy and how we handle your data in our privacy policy.

We recognize that many organizations want to contribute to the advancement of AI technology. The Development Partner Program allows you to voluntarily share Claude Code sessions with Anthropic to improve our services, including model training. This voluntary sharing helps us enhance Claude's coding capabilities across all users, improve our models based on actual developer workflows, and advance the field of AI-assisted coding.

What is the Development Partner Program?

Through the Development Partner Program, eligible organizations can contribute to Claude's improvement by voluntarily sharing their Claude Code sessions with Anthropic.

Key information:

  • Only Claude Code input and output tokens from Anthropic’s first-party API are shared. Data sharing does not apply to Claude apps or API calls unrelated to Claude Code

  • Your data will be stored securely for up to 2 years, and data used for model training will not be associated with other customer information

  • This setting applies to all members in your organization

  • All members in your organization will be informed that you have enrolled into the program

  • You can leave the program at any time, but previously shared data cannot be deleted

Accounts on our zero data retention agreement are not eligible for the program.
