Data retention

Computer use is a client-side tool. All screenshots, mouse actions, keyboard inputs, and any files involved in a session are captured and stored in your environment, not by Anthropic. Anthropic processes the screenshot images and action requests in real time as part of the API call. Retention for those API requests is governed by API and data retention.

Because your application controls where and how computer use data is stored, computer use is ZDR eligible. For ZDR eligibility across all features, see API and data retention.
