The clause establishes a default data use authorization for model development with a user-controlled opt-out mechanism, while preserving the company's authorization to use materials for training purposes in two specified operational contexts regardless of opt-out status. This structure addresses the operational distinction between general service improvement and safety-critical use cases.
Users may restrict Anthropic's use of their materials for model training through account settings, but this restriction does not apply when users submit explicit feedback or when materials undergo safety review processes. The terms thereby condition the scope of user opt-out rights on the category and context of material use.
