Protecting the digital archives
of Claude users

Ownership of the archive copy

The user must hold ownership of a full copy of the information, including AI responses and reworked internet materials, and the right to obtain it regardless of an account block.

• Information ownership — the user must have their own copy of the entire history of work with Claude;
• Copyright — receiving a copy of the archive does not transfer copyright over third-party materials;
• Like a purchased book — the buyer owns the copy of the book; the author's rights to the text remain.

• The user retains their rights to prompts; Anthropic transfers its possible rights to responses subject to conditions;
• Export after a block is provided for, but its scope may be limited;
• Section 202 of US law separates ownership of the material copy from copyright.

• Primary — receive the entire archive: hand over all surviving materials in a readable form, list the missing parts and the reasons for exclusions;
• Separately — refund the payment for the unused period (a refund does not replace the archive);
• On evidence — compensation for losses, subject to contractual liability limits.

• Individual users — paid or free account;
• Organisations and entrepreneurs — the archive owner or an authorised representative applies.

• Account: owner, authority, countries, plan;
• Access restriction: date, notice, reason, contract terms;
• The archive and its contents: what is missing, what copies survive;
• Request and response: date of the full export request, the reply;
• Payments and losses: payments, recovery expenses.

• Legal position → complaint form → similar cases → lawyer assessment → choice of procedure;
• Before filing we identify the defendant and the court, verify dispute procedures, deadlines, costs, and the possibility of collective proceedings;
• Submitting a complaint does not mean joining a case or entering an agreement with a lawyer.
