  1. Added: In the Claude Console, go to the Data retention page ( platform.claude.com/settings/privacy ). Organization admins with the HIPAA management permission see a HIPAA compliance card there. If you don't see the card, select Organization from the dropdown menu at the top of the page. If your organization is eligible but you still don't see the option to enable, ask an organization admin to complete these steps.
  2. Removed: In Claude Console > Settings > Data retention , organization admins with the HIPAA management permission see a HIPAA compliance card. If your organization is eligible but you don't see the option to enable, ask an organization admin to complete these steps.
  3. Added: Organizations with a ZDR arrangement can make these models available in a specific workspace by enabling 30-day retention for that workspace only. Other workspaces in the organization keep zero data retention. The Default Workspace always follows the organization's setting, so use another workspace.
  4. Added: In the Claude Console, go to the Data retention page ( platform.claude.com/settings/privacy ) and select the workspace from the dropdown menu at the top of the page.
  5. Added: Select Standard data retention (30-day retention) and click Save . A confirmation dialog box then asks you to review and accept the terms that apply to data retention for the workspace. Data retention turns on for the workspace only after you accept them.
  6. Removed: Organizations with a ZDR arrangement can make these models available in a specific workspace by enabling 30-day retention for that workspace only. Other workspaces in the organization keep zero data retention.
  7. Removed: In Claude Console > Settings > Workspaces , select the workspace. In the panel that opens, click Security to open the workspace's Security page. Under Data retention , click Manage in Privacy controls .
  8. Removed: Enable the 30-day data retention setting for the workspace.
  9. Added: Beta. Spans have the same ZDR eligibility as the feature that produces them. HIPAA organizations can export metadata. SDK spans go directly from your environment to your exporter. After delivery, the data is held by the service that you chose, outside Anthropic, under that service's retention and access controls.
  10. Added: Eligible organizations can enable HIPAA readiness directly on the Data retention page ( platform.claude.com/settings/privacy ) in the Claude Console by reviewing and executing Anthropic's standard BAA; see Getting started with HIPAA readiness . If your organization requires a negotiated BAA, or self-serve enablement isn't available for your organization, contact the Anthropic sales team .
