You can opt out, but the fact that it's opt-in by default and made to look like a simple T/C update prompt leaves a sour taste in my mouth. The five year retention period seems... excessive. I wonder if they've buried anything else objectionable in the new terms.

It was the kick in the pants I needed to cancel my subscription.

Are you sure the opt out isn’t only training? The retention does not seem affected by the toggle.

From the PR update: https://www.anthropic.com/news/updates-to-our-consumer-terms

“If you do not choose to provide your data for model training, you’ll continue with our existing 30-day data retention period.“

From the support page: https://privacy.anthropic.com/en/articles/10023548-how-long-...

“If you choose not to allow us to use your chats and coding sessions to improve Claude, your chats will be retained in our back-end storage systems for up to 30 days.”
