ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Non-users of Anthropic's services may have their personal data incorporated into Claude's training datasets through publicly available internet sources or commercial data purchases, with limited ability to exercise rights under this policy.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

The policy states that Inputs (your messages to Claude) and Outputs (Claude's responses) may be used to train Anthropic's AI models, and that this use continues even after opting out if the conversation is flagged for safety review or if you have explicitly submitted feedback about it. Device identifiers, IP address-derived location data, browsing activity, and usage information are also collected automatically. You can opt out of conversation use for model training by accessing your account settings at Claude.ai.
