Amnesia AI® vs Claude

Anthropic publishes more about retention than most, and it is still a promise about what a provider chooses to do with plaintext it can read. Amnesia AI® removes the choice from the provider, ours included.

On the record

What Anthropic publishes.

Their words, their page, with the date we read it.

Consumer accounts that allow their data to be used for model training move to a five-year retention window; accounts that do not keep the 30-day window.

Where Claude is the better choice

Claude runs frontier models, and Anthropic's published retention terms are among the clearest in the category. The difference is who is trusted to honor them.
