The policy excludes Claude for Work and the API.

Kinda bored, thinking of going on the wrong-thought permeant watchlist / training set later.

If Claude fable flags a conversation (very easy to happen) they can store that seshion for 2 years and they conveniently forgot to mention if they train on that. https://privacy.claude.com/en/articles/10023548-how-long-do-you-store-my-data

@nisten Wondering why they asked me if they can read transcript if they can anyway according to ToS

@bvhughes It is NOT part of the standard 30 day policy, it falls under a different clause. Feels intentional lawfare to me, they can give that variable either value.

@nisten Theyve been training on and stealing everything users put into them since always, all of them.

@nisten If they flag it, it’s 7 years.

@nisten I think that Fable refusing to respond, and your prompt being flagged are different things. Asking for advice on training an LLM or a biology question does not go against their terms of use, even if Fable falls back to opus.

@nisten in my experience with every corporation, it's the employees that store the novelty data... and the corporate-wide policy is worthless.

@nisten plus that "data" is not the specific chat content, but the memory it gets fed from your other chats

@nisten It’s still an open public document, that’s not hiding anything. No company explicitly broadcasts everything in their privacy policy or ToS

@kgonia7 @nisten Probably because of GDPR. And AI Act.
