Is Claude SafeClaude is generally safe to use with sensible habits: Anthropic encrypts data, holds SOC 2 Type 2, ISO 27001 and ISO 42001 certifications, and lets consumers opt out of training, but chats may be used for training if allowed, and agents that browse or use connectors can be misled by prompt injection.

Prompting ClaudeAnthropic's advice for prompting Claude is to be clear and direct, explain why, give three to five examples, separate parts of a prompt with XML tags, set a role, and put long documents before the question.
