Unclear It is not clear exactly which options the locked terms dialog still shows.

What

Grove is the setting that controls whether your conversations may be used to train models. Claude Code now reads a new account value, grove_locked_by_claude_science, and handles accounts where this setting is locked.

  • The privacy settings dialog, opened with /privacy-settings, passes the value to the settings screen as lockedByClaudeScience. When it is set, the toggle ignores input and shows a dimmed 'false' with the text 'Not available for this account.' Closing the dialog then skips the normal save step. Before, the toggle could be locked only for excluded domains (domainExcluded).
  • The 'Updates to Consumer Terms' dialog also handles the lock. When it is set, the option to turn sharing off is removed and only the opt-in option is offered. A new notice appears, and pressing Enter or Esc records an opt-out. The notice reads 'This setting wasn't turned on. It's off for your account. You can review it any time with /privacy-settings.'
  • Saving the Grove setting can now send opt_in_only_if_unset=grove_enabled, which asks the server to opt in only if no choice has been made yet. It returns the grove_enabled value the server reports. Before, it always used the plain account settings address and returned nothing.

Why

If your account is affected, you can no longer change the data-sharing choice from these dialogs. The setting appears off and dimmed. Use /privacy-settings to check what your account shows.
