Posit does not provide support or assistance for any code written or generated in Positron, with or without Positron Assistant via any model provider. Posit does not support the Anthropic or GitHub Copilot output, or test the logic used by either to generate code from prompts.

### Positron AI Agents

The Positron AI tools are “BYO-key”, meaning that the tools can interact with a number of different model providers (e.g., Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, GitHub Copilot, or OpenAI) and the user or organization has an agreement with, pays the model provider, directly for access to the model.

### Data Collection and Privacy

Positron provides local software as a client to the user’s selected model provider. As a result, Posit does not track, collect, or store your prompts, code, or conversations when using AI features within Positron (i.e. Positron Assistant, Databot, etc). These features operate by communicating directly from your client software to your chosen AI model provider. Posit does not receive any AI traffic from your client’s software and nor does Posit ever access or store your data.

However, your AI model provider (such as [Anthropic](#anthropic) or [GitHub Copilot](#github-copilot)) may store or collect data according to their own privacy policies and terms of service. Please review your AI model provider's data practices for details on what information they collect and how it's used.

If you voluntarily share diagnostic logs or information with Posit for troubleshooting purposes, that shared information will be handled in accordance with [Posit's privacy policy](privacy.qmd).


### Anthropic

Anthropic may collect and store your prompts, responses, and related usage data. For more information about Anthropic's data handling and retention policies, review their [Privacy Policy](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy), their [Commercial Privacy Center](https://privacy.claude.com/en/collections/10663361-commercial-customers) documentation, and your Claude Console [Privacy controls](https://platform.claude.com/settings/privacy).
