You can no longer use AI anonymously; policy changes may require biometric data submission.

Anthropic Privacy Policy: Anthropic has updated its privacy policy, allowing the company to request biometric data from users. This move has sparked questions.

Anthropic Privacy Policy: You might even need to present your passport to use the AI. This isn't just a claim we are making; the US-based AI company Anthropic has outlined this in its new policy. The company has introduced a new privacy policy that includes provisions for strict measures to verify user identity. This new policy applies specifically to consumer accounts—users on the Claude Free, Pro, and Max plans. Commercial users are not currently covered by this policy.

Biometric data may be required for verification.

Under Anthropic's new AI policy, users may be asked to prove their age and identity in certain situations. To do this, users might need to provide a selfie or video, as well as government-issued documents like a passport or driver's license. Additionally, the policy mentions the creation of "facial geometry templates." This policy comes into effect on July 8.

When will verification be required?
