Enterprise plan customers can additionally set custom retention timelines for their organization's data, and Anthropic directs API users to a separate article on deleting data sent via the API. The guidance matters because it distinguishes deleting a chat from deleting the underlying data, a distinction that affects how organizations handle data retention and compliance.", "body_md": "*This article is about our commercial products such as Claude for Work and the Anthropic API.
