Guidelines for Organizations Serving Minors with Claude

⚡ TL;DR Organizations serving minors must add their own protections, comply with laws like COPPA, disclose AI use and accept audits. Developers should also run a child-safety program and report as required.

Products for young users carry extra responsibility. Here are Anthropic's rules for organizations serving minors.

Policy guide. 🧒

🧒 Requirements for Organizations Serving Minors

Key obligations:

• 🛡️ Add protections like age checks, filtering, monitoring and education

• ⚖️ Comply with laws such as COPPA and state compliance publicly

• 🏷️ Tell users they're interacting with AI

🔍 Audits

Anthropic audits compliance. Frequent violations without safeguards can require changes, and failure to act can lead to suspension or termination.

🏢 Anthropic's Role

Anthropic trains models to refuse harmful requests involving minors, monitors its services and reports to NCMEC as required.

🛠️ Developer Child-Safety Programs

Developers control their platforms, so they need their own safeguards: detection tools from in-house or vendors, industry guidance like the Tech Coalition, and reporting as required by law.

💡 Pro tip Document your safety program; audits go faster with written policies.
