Insight: Anthropic Asks Users to Opt Out Before Training AI on Their Chats

  1. Default opt-in for AI training

    Consumer users of Claude’s Free, Pro, Max, and Claude Code plans will have their new and resumed sessions used for model training unless they opt out—business accounts are unaffected.

  2. Five-year data retention for consenting users

    If you allow it, Anthropic will store your data for up to five years. Previously, chats were kept only for about 30 days.

  3. Prompt pop-ups with settings and deadlines

    New users must choose during signup; existing users get a pop-up—“Accept” is prominent, while the opt-out toggle is smaller and pre-checked. Decision deadline: September 28, 2025.

  4. Sensitive info filtered; partial control remains

    Anthropic won’t use previous inactive chats. Users can change settings anytime, but data already used in model training can’t be undone. The company uses tools to obfuscate sensitive content and ensures no data is sold.
