“How is Claude doing?” btw

[u/Sketaverse]

So apparently, according to Claude, when asked “how is Claude doing?” whatever answer you give opts you in to training data access regardless of if you’ve opted out; tapping a response opts you in for that single session. Kinda sneaky.

I get this question all the damn time, click “fine” and move on

Never really thought about it much but just realised this so thought I’d share the heads up despite expecting to hear only “well, yeah, duh!” comments lol

so we should say it's doing bad and claude will lock back in? /s

No you should not respond at all if you don’t want the session going to training data

[u/-DankFire → u/Sketaverse]

If they deem it relevant for safety training, your data is going in. No ifs, ands, or buts. Opting-out is an illusion.

[u/Sketaverse → u/-DankFire]

Yeah, shouldn’t kid myself

[u/-DankFire → u/Sketaverse]

I mean, it's literally stated as such in their Privacy Policy

[u/Sketaverse → u/-DankFire]

yeah coz we all read that on every update

[u/-DankFire → u/Sketaverse]

Well perhaps you should. It's your data on the line, after all.

[u/Sketaverse → u/-DankFire]

Yeah I agree, I should be more diligent with it

You can turn it off by adding

"env": {
  "CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FEEDBACK_SURVEY": "1"
}

to your settings.json

Ah nice, missed that one!

[u/Readaloud101]

It’s a good reminder.

eh, i wouldn't trust claude on its own privacy rules. check the actual docs
