Solid neighbourhood-bakery energy. Trustworthy and warm.
Summary
Anthropic has updated its privacy policy to allow training AI models on user data from personal Claude accounts (Free, Pro, and Max plans), effective September 28, 2025. The company presented this as an opt-in feature but the privacy settings default to allowing data training, requiring users to manually disable it if they want to opt out. This change affects consumer accounts but not enterprise/business users.
