Claude Certified Associate – Foundations free question 9 / 10 · Domain 6: Governance, Risk, and Responsible Use
A law firm is considering whether to use Claude on confidential matters. Which premise about data handling does Anthropic's material on legal use list for consideration?
- Under commercial terms, content is not used for training by default and retention can be configured
- Anthropic staff routinely read and review conversations
- The free consumer screen handles data in the same way as the commercial screen
- Retention periods cannot be changed and are fixed for customers
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: A
Why this is correct
Anthropic's material on legal use explains that content from Team, Enterprise, Claude Platform, and API customers is not used for model training by default. Retention is configurable: Enterprise owners can set an organization-wide retention period, and API customers can use standard 30-day retention or zero data retention on eligible endpoints and models. Human review is a very narrow exception limited to content that automated safety systems have flagged.
Why the other options are wrong
"The free consumer screen handles data in the same way as the commercial screen" … The material lists use under commercial terms (a contract with a DPA and a commitment not to train) as the basic expectation for legal work. The premise differs from the consumer one.
"Anthropic staff routinely read and review conversations" … The material explains that human review is a very narrow exception: automated safety systems handle possible harm, and people may access only what is flagged.
"Retention periods cannot be changed and are fixed for customers" … The material explains that Enterprise owners can set an organization-wide retention period and that API customers can use standard 30-day retention or zero data retention on eligible models.
Key point
The material states that it is not legal advice. Confirm with your own lawyers according to the particulars (jurisdiction, client, matter).
