       | interactions with Claude, both via web app and API, are used for
       | training, regardless of your account subscription status. But
       | yes, you can opt out.

         | something like it) that has unintentionally exposed a bunch of
         | leases. It makes more sense to me that a directory of hundreds
         | or thousands of nearly-identical leases would be exposed online
         | and scraped than the possibility that someone uploaded enough
         | lease documents to Claude for them to all be included in
         | training data. I'd be really surprised, actually, if any major
         | AI company was taking uploaded documents and using them for
         | training, since they're very, very likely to contain extremely
         | sensitive data.
