Claude Code

Consumer Claude chats and Claude Code sessions may be used for model improvement unless the user turns off Help Improve Claude.

Explicit feedback and safety-review workflows can still route related conversations into model-improvement or safeguard-improvement processes.

Turning off model improvement stops new chats and eligible stored chats from future model training.

Anthropic says business-offering content is governed by customer agreements rather than the consumer Claude settings.

Anthropic documents service-provider, privacy-rights, and security handling.

The policy distinguishes commercial-customer processor contexts from consumer-controller contexts.

Users and organizations can choose whether to connect many third-party websites and services.

International-transfer safeguards and privacy-rights disclosures are documented directly in the policy.

Data can still flow through service providers, business partners, affiliates, connected services, and legal recipients.

Third-party training data sources and connected coding or agentic sessions widen the practical sharing surface.

Anthropic still collects usage information, device data, and cookies or similar technologies.

Marketing and business-partner contexts still add some tracking and promotional data use around the service.

Anthropic says it does not sell personal data as defined by applicable laws.

Users can access privacy settings and rights tools.

Claude Code is not a public social feed or ad-delivery product.

If model improvement is allowed, data may remain in de-identified training pipelines for up to 5 years.

Safety-flagged content and safety classification data can have longer retention windows than normal deleted chats.

Feedback can keep the related conversation for longer review and improvement workflows.

Deleted consumer chats are removed from history immediately and deleted from backend systems within 30 days.

Developers can limit repository access and use privacy controls.

Users can opt out of model training through account settings.

Anthropic documents access, portability, correction, and deletion rights.

Organizations can govern access in work or enterprise contexts more centrally than unmanaged personal use.

Privacy still depends on not exposing secrets and on workspace or plan settings.

Connected third-party services and agentic sessions can widen the practical surface beyond one simple toggle.
