Updates to Consumer Terms and Privacy Policy

Why are we linking to Perplexity.ai AI-generated slop summaries of other news articles instead of the actual announcement? Reading the actual announcement is more clear : https://www.anthropic.com/news/updates-to-our-consumer-terms Some important points:

An in-app notification pop-up will alert you to the change. You can opt out in the pop up.

I was able to opt out right now by going to the Privacy section of Settings.

It doesn’t take effect until September 28th. The app will apparently prompt people to review the new terms and make a decision before then.

Only applies to new or resumed sessions if you do review the new terms and don’t turn it off. The angry comments about collecting data from customers and then later using it without permission are not correct. You would have to accept the new terms and resume an old session for it to be used.

Does not apply to API use, 3rd party services, or products like Claude Gov or Claude for Education.

Changing the link to the actual source instead of this perplexity.ai link would be far more helpful.

> An in-app notification pop-up will alert you to the change. You can opt out in the pop up.

The in-app notification that I got was a pop up which contained some buttons and some images. There was no text. Just in case it was some dark mode issue I checked the DOM and I couldn't find any text there either. I just clicked outside the modal and it went away. I assumed it was some announcement about some new feature and ignored it.

I did end up seeing the news yesterday in Reddit (I'm having issues getting the research tool to actually being used, tried to see if there was some recent changes) but it's unlikely that I was the only one who experienced modal the issue & if those didn't follow the tech news they could easily miss the change.
