Anthropic plans a data-retention option in customers' own cloud, report says

Anthropic plans to let enterprise customers keep Claude interaction data in their own cloud later in 2026, while the current 30-day default continues, according to an unnamed source cited by two outlets on August 20, 2026. The plan was said to be aligned with more than 100 customers, including Salesforce; Anthropic has not issued an official announcement.

Customer-controlled storage could improve data residency, discovery and governance in regulated sectors.

Wait for official contract and technical documents, and verify key ownership, deletion, support access, regional processing, logging and backup. This is not a released feature.
