Claude Consumer Terms: User Data Now Used for AI
Training Unless Opted Out
On 28 August 2025, Anthropic revised its Consumer Terms and
Privacy Policy for its Claude Free, Pro, and Max programs. Per the
updated terms, unless users opt out all future chats and coding
sessions may now be stored for up to five years and used to train
Claude's models. This reversed Antropic's original stance
according to which data was not used for AI training unless users
opted in, and data not used for AI training was deleted within 30
days. New customers must select their preference during sign-up,
while existing users must do so by 28 September 2025. Commercial
offerings (Claude for Work, Government, Education, or third-party
API) are unaffected by this change. Because inadvertent opt-in
could expose confidential or sensitive information, organizations
should review the update, verify employees' selections, and
issue internal guidance as needed.
