Legal agreements
License
Your use of the Claude Desktop application, including in Cowork on third-party (3P) mode, is subject to Anthropic’s Commercial Terms of Service.Commercial agreements
Cowork on 3P routes model inference through the provider you configure (Google Cloud Vertex AI, Amazon Bedrock, Azure Foundry, or a compatible gateway). Inference usage is billed by, and subject to your agreement with, that provider. Your existing commercial agreement with Anthropic continues to apply to your use of the Claude Desktop application, unless we’ve mutually agreed otherwise.Compliance
When using Vertex AI or Bedrock, conversation content is sent only to your configured inference endpoint and stored on the local device; the compliance posture of your deployment is determined by your inference provider and the device environment you control. Equivalent guarantees for Azure Foundry are coming. See the Overview for the architecture and the provider-specific data path. For Anthropic’s certifications and compliance reports, see the Anthropic Trust Center.Usage policy
Use of Claude models, including via Cowork on 3P, is subject to the Anthropic Usage Policy.Privacy and telemetry

This telemetry contains no prompt or response content and can be fully disabled via managed configuration. See Telemetry and egress for what each category contains and how to disable it. Anthropic’s Privacy Policy describes how Anthropic handles data it receives.Security and trust
