Anthropic will use consumer chat and coding session data from Claude Free, Pro, and Max users to train its AI models, unless opted out.
This data will be retained for up to five years, replacing the previous 30-day deletion policy. The change doesn’t affect commercial accounts like Claude for Work, Gov, or Education, nor API usage.
New users will set their preferences during signup; existing users must decide via a pop-up (featuring a prominent “Accept” button and default “On” toggle). Users can update their preference anytime, but already-used data cannot be retroactively removed from training sets.
