Is my data used for model training?

This article is about our consumer products such as Claude Free, Pro, Max and when accounts from those plans use Claude Code. For our commercial products such as Claude for Work and the Anthropic API, see here.

We will use your chats and coding sessions (including to improve our models) if:

Chat and coding session data we may use for improving our models includes the entire related conversation, along with any content, custom styles or conversation preferences, as well as data collected when using Claude for Chrome. It does not include raw content from connectors (e.g. Google Drive), including remote and local MCP servers, though data may be included if it’s directly copied into your conversation with Claude.

Incognito chats

Your Incognito chats are not used to improve Claude, even if you have enabled Model Improvement in your Privacy Settings. Learn more about incognito chats.

Feedback

When you provide us feedback via our thumbs up/down button, we will store the entire related conversation, including any content, custom styles or conversation preferences, in our secured back-end for up to 5 years. Feedback data does not include raw content from connectors (e.g. Google Drive), including remote and local MCP servers, though data may be included if it’s directly copied into your conversation with Claude.

We de-link your feedback from your user ID (e.g. email address) before it’s used by Anthropic. We may use your feedback to analyze the effectiveness of our Services, conduct research, study user behavior, and train our AI models as permitted under applicable laws. We do not combine your feedback with your other conversations with Claude.

Here’s an example of what you’ll see when using the thumbs up / down button to provide a feedback report:
