Claude Privacy: Who Can See Your Conversations and Sensitive Data
Updated: 1 day ago
⚡ TL;DR Chats used for model improvement are separated from your account and seen only by a small training team. Incognito chats are never used for training, and you can change privacy settings any time.
Before teams paste client documents into an AI tool, someone always asks who else can read them. Claude privacy controls answer that question, and they are worth understanding before you share anything sensitive.
Here is the plain-language version we give clients at Lord Of The Wix. 🔒
🔒 How Claude Privacy Works for Your Chats
When chats are used to improve Claude, they are first separated from your account. Only a small group of staff involved in model training can access them.
🛡️ Safety Reviews
Conversations flagged by safety systems may still be used for safety research and to enforce the usage policy, even when other settings are off.
🕶️ Incognito Chats and Settings
Incognito chats are never used to improve Claude, even if model improvement is turned on. You can also change your model improvement privacy settings at any time.
💡 Pro tip Use incognito chats for one-off sensitive questions, and set your default privacy preference once for everything else.
📋 What to Keep Out of AI Chats
Be cautious with highly sensitive material:
💳 Financial data and account numbers
🏥 Health records
🔑 Passwords and access credentials
📁 Confidential documents you are not allowed to share
Good Claude privacy habits protect both you and your clients. Need an AI data policy for your team? Lord Of The Wix can draft one with you. ✨
