Why it matters

Your potentially sensitive conversations could become training data that influences a global AI system, and opting out is not absolute — flagged safety content can still be used.

Consumer impact

Anthropic collects your conversation inputs and outputs, device data, and usage information, and may use that data to train its AI models unless you opt out. Even after opting out, Anthropic retains the right to use your conversations for training if they are flagged for safety review. You can opt out of having your conversations used for model training by adjusting your account settings at claude.ai.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Log in to your Claude account, navigate to account settings, and locate the data and privacy section to disable the option allowing Anthropic to use your conversations for model training.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC oversees unfair or deceptive data practices; using consumer data for AI training beyond disclosed purposes or with inadequate opt-out mechanisms may constitute an unfair practice.
