When Claude CLI asks for feedback, responding authorizes conversation capture

Anthropic's consumer terms state that providing feedback on Claude CLI authorizes the company to use the associated Materials for model training, even for users who have opted out of training in their account settings. The terms specify that opting out does not prevent training use when a user provides Feedback regarding any Materials or when Materials are flagged for safety review. The poster advises dismissing the frequently appearing Claude CLI feedback prompt to avoid having long transcripts captured for training or other purposes.

Just an FYI. I had a funny feeling that when I don't dismiss the often appearing prompt to provide feedback on claude CLI's performance, I'm giving it authorization to capture the conversation. So I went and looked, and sure enough, it's in their terms. I went and looked because that prompt would appear really often and at points in my conversation where the transcript was long and potentially valuable. So if you don't want your long valuable transcripts used for training or other purposes, be sure to dismiss that solicitation for feedback because it's not just a number you're authorizing them to capture. https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms Our use of Materials.
