Security and Privacy for the Blackbaud Anthropic Claude Connector

The Blackbaud Connector for Anthropic Claude is designed to make your fundraising data accessible and actionable through natural language, while keeping your organization’s information secure at every step.

• Authentication – The connector uses OAuth 2.0 authentication with your Blackbaud ID, ensuring that only authorized users can access data.

• Encrypted Data Transfer – All information exchanged between Claude and Blackbaud is protected by HTTPS encryption, both in transit and at rest on Blackbaud’s systems.

• Role-Based Access – Claude can only retrieve or act on data that your Blackbaud user account is permitted to view. Blackbaud’s role-based security model is enforced at all times.

• No Persistent Data Storage – Claude does not store sensitive data beyond the current session. Only the data you explicitly request is accessed — there is no broad or continuous data sync.

• Session-Based Privacy – Once your session ends, no data remains in Claude. All data access is strictly limited to what you authorize during your interaction.
