⚠ Key Privacy Concerns
While Anthropic leads the AI services category in privacy, the fundamental challenge remains: AI models improve through learning from user conversations. Even with better opt-out options, conversations marked as "helpful" may be used for training, and flagged content is retained longer for safety research.
