5.3 Anthropic (Interpretation Technology)

STELLWAY uses the Claude API provided by Anthropic, PBC (USA) to generate personalized astrological interpretations. When you request a reading, relevant astrological data — specifically planetary positions and house placements calculated from your birth data — as well as your optional intention text, are sent to Anthropic's API to generate your personalized reading.

We do not send your name, email address, birth date as a date, or any other directly identifying personal information to Anthropic. Only anonymized astrological calculation results are transmitted.

Anthropic does not use API data to train its models. This is contractually guaranteed under Anthropic's API Terms of Service. Data sent via the API is not used for any purpose beyond generating your reading.
