Anthropic has revised its privacy policy to allow identity verification for some Claude users, requiring them to upload a government-issued ID and submit a selfie photo or video.
According to a report by the Emirates News Agency (WAM), the updated policy, which comes into effect on 8 July, introduces facial geometry templates as a new category of personal data the company may collect.
That data type could qualify as biometric information under certain US state privacy laws.
The policy does not specify which users will be subject to verification, suggesting it will apply selectively rather than across the board.
