Data retention appears to be predicated on opting in to allowing training. If you don't opt in, they retain it for the same 30 days they were already retaining it for. https://www.anthropic.com/news/updates-to-our-consumer-terms

Oh! Thank you!

That popup was confusing as hell then, because I've read and understood it as two separate points: I've got it that they're making training opt-out, and that they're changing data retention to 5 years, independent of each other. I got upset over this, and haven't really researched into the nuances - and turns out I've got it all wrong.

Appreciate your comment, it's really helpful!

I hope they change the language to make it clear 5 years only applies to the chats they're allowed to train models on.

(Weirdly, I can't find the word "years" anywhere on their Privacy Policy, and the only instance on the Consumer Terms of Service pages is about being of legal age over 18 years old.)
