7 | 7 | ### Data training policy |
8 | 8 |
|
9 | | -By default, Anthropic does not train generative models using code or prompts that are sent to Claude Code. |
| 9 | +**Consumer users (Free, Pro, and Max plans)**: |
| 10 | +Starting August 28, 2025, we're giving you the choice to allow your data to be used to improve future Claude models. |
10 | 11 |
|
11 | | -We aim to be fully transparent about how we use your data. We may use feedback to improve our products and services, but we will not train generative models using your feedback from Claude Code. |
| 12 | +We will train new models using data from Free, Pro, and Max accounts when this setting is on (including when you use Claude Code from these accounts). |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +* If you're a current user, you can select your preference now and your selection will immediately go into effect. |
| 15 | + This setting will only apply to new or resumed chats and coding sessions on Claude. Previous chats with no additional activity will not be used for model training. |
| 16 | +* You have until September 28, 2025 to make your selection. |
| 17 | + If you're a new user, you can pick your setting for model training during the signup process. |
| 18 | + You can change your selection at any time in your Privacy Settings. |
| 19 | + |
| 20 | +**Commercial users**: (Team and Enterprise plans, API, 3rd-party platforms, and Claude Gov) maintain existing policies: Anthropic does not train generative models using code or prompts sent to Claude Code under commercial terms, unless the customer has chosen to provide their data to us for model improvement (e.g. [Developer Partner Program](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11174108-about-the-development-partner-program)). |
12 | 21 |
|
13 | 22 | ### Development Partner Program |
14 | 23 |
|
15 | 24 | If you explicitly opt in to methods to provide us with materials to train on, such as via the [Development Partner Program](https://support.anthropic.com/en/articles/11174108-about-the-development-partner-program), we may use those materials provided to train our models. An organization admin can expressly opt-in to the Development Partner Program for their organization. Note that this program is available only for Anthropic first-party API, and not for Bedrock or Vertex users. |

|
17 | | -### Feedback transcripts |
| 26 | +### Feedback using the `/bug` command |
18 | 27 |
|
19 | | -If you choose to send us feedback about Claude Code, such as transcripts of your usage, Anthropic may use that feedback to debug related issues and improve Claude Code's functionality (e.g., to reduce the risk of similar bugs occurring in the future). We will not train generative models using this feedback. Given their potentially sensitive nature, we store user feedback transcripts for only 30 days. |
| 28 | +If you choose to send us feedback about Claude Code using the `/bug` command, we may use your feedback to improve our products and services. Transcripts shared via `/bug` are retained for 30 days. |
20 | 29 |
|
21 | 30 | ### Data retention |
22 | 31 |
|
23 | | -You can use an API key from a zero data retention organization. When doing so, Claude Code will not retain your chat transcripts on our servers. Users' local Claude Code clients may store sessions locally for up to 30 days so that users can resume them. This behavior is configurable. |
| 32 | +Anthropic retains Claude Code data based on your account type and preferences. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +**Consumer users (Free, Pro, and Max plans)**: |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +* Users who allow data use for model improvement: 5-year retention period to support model development and safety improvements |
| 37 | +* Users who don't allow data use for model improvement: 30-day retention period |
| 38 | +* Privacy settings can be changed at any time at [claude.ai/settings/data-privacy-controls](claude.ai/settings/data-privacy-controls). |
24 | 39 |
|
25 | | -### Privacy safeguards |
| 40 | +**Commercial users (Team, Enterprise, and API)**: |
26 | 41 |
|
27 | | -We have implemented several safeguards to protect your data, including: |
| 42 | +* Standard: 30-day retention period |
| 43 | +* Zero data retention: Available with appropriately configured API keys - Claude Code will not retain chat transcripts on servers |
| 44 | +* Local caching: Claude Code clients may store sessions locally for up to 30 days to enable session resumption (configurable) |
28 | 45 |
|
29 | | -* Limited retention periods for sensitive information |
30 | | -* Restricted access to user session data |
31 | | -* Clear policies against using feedback for model training |
