... what else would we expect it to do?

> When you provide us feedback via our thumbs up / down button, we will store the entire related conversation, including any content, custom styles, conversation preferences, or model settings, in our secured back-end for up to 5 years. [...] We do not combine your feedback with your other conversations with Claude.

Generally (and with Anthropic), enterprise plans aren't used for training / tracking / targetting.

There's a whole spectrum of things they could do from most to least aligned with that as a principle.

For example, they could have a thumbs up/down

- just track the metadata of the conversation (e.g. model used, how far through its context it was, how old the session was) - track metadata of the user as a whole (how often they use Claude, how many other "active" conversations they have on the go, how much they've tested other models, if this is their first time using new tweaks to params etc) - have contextual feedback of the chat available for humans to review (alongside the comments you put in the feedback), but not explicitly train on it.

Whereas the option they've chosen is:

> If you explicitly report feedback or bugs to us (e.g. via our thumbs up/down feedback button), or otherwise choose to allow us to use your data, then we may use your chats and coding sessions to train our models.

So literally using your session as training input. They also could've allowed this to be an opt-in on bug reports.

Well, again, how did people expect that to work

> - just track the metadata of the conversation

This is useless

I would expect that, if you turned off the feature where they can use your data, that they would remove those features, so you don't either accidentally click them or fail to understand that it isn't some kind of local-to-your-account mechanism.

I find the lack of privacy forward thinking from a company I pay a couple hundred a month to kind of atrocious. They're buying no loyalty.

If they don't use the available data, how do they act on the feedback?

Is this also the case when you answer that how is Claude doing question in Claude Code?
felixarba•7m ago
Did anyone who has any connection with tech not expect this? If you rate a specific conversation, did you not expect this conversation to go into training or at least review?

You are explicitly telling them "this is good / bad"...
