Rating any Claude output triggers storage of the entire associated conversation as feedback and grants Anthropic unrestricted use rights over that conversation, including for model training, regardless of whether you have opted out of training in your account settings.
Every thumbs up or thumbs down rating submitted by a user causes the full conversation to be stored as feedback and made available for unrestricted use by Anthropic, including model training. This occurs independently of the general model training opt-out setting.
