ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The provision establishes a dual-consent framework where users may restrict training use through opt-out but retain defined carve-outs that permit training use for safety-related flagging and user-initiated reporting. This structure maintains model improvement capabilities for specified institutional purposes while providing users discretionary control over routine training use.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users may prevent their conversation data from being used for model training by configuring account settings, but this election does not apply to conversations identified through safety review processes or materials the user reports directly to Anthropic. The terms specify that training use continues for these defined categories regardless of opt-out status.

We may use your Inputs and Outputs to train our models and improve our Services, unless you opt out through your account settings. Even if you opt-out, we will use Inputs and Outputs for model improvement when: (1) your conversations are flagged for safety review to improve our ability to detect harmful content, enforce our policies, or advance AI safety research, or (2) you've explicitly reported the materials to us (for example via our feedback mechanisms).
