# PSA: Your Claude Shared Chats and Artifacts May Have Ended Up on Google

## AI commentary

> This report is a wake-up call for everyone who uses Claude’s sharing feature. I strongly urge all users to immediately review their shared links—especially those used for demos or collaboration—because your API keys or internal code may already be exposed in Google search results. Enterprise IT admins should treat this as an emergency security incident and disable sharing entirely until Anthropic issues a fix.

## At a glance

A privacy flaw in Anthropic's Claude: the 'share chat' feature creates public links that are not blocked from search engine crawlers by default, causing many user conversations and Artifacts (e.g., code, documents) to be indexed by Google. The issue affects already shared links; if you've shared sensitive info, it may have leaked. Anthropic has not fully fixed it yet. Users are advised to delete or revoke links containing confidential content immediately.

## Key points

- Claude's 'share chat' links are crawlable by search engines by default, leading to conversations and Artifacts being indexed by Google.
- High privacy risk, especially for links containing passwords, API keys, trade secrets, etc.
- Anthropic has not released a full fix; users must manually delete or disable shared links.

## Full text

The issue appears to have originated from Claude’s “share chat” feature, which allows users to create links that enable anyone with the assigned URL view a conversation or project.
