To work around mismatches in our databases, we added additional logic in our ETL jobs that counted the number of rows in the application databases and in Snowflake in a given time period. If a discrepancy existed, the job would simply delete the data in Snowflake for that time period and re-copy the data from production. By having the job perform retroactive corrections, we increased our assurance that the data in Snowflake *actually* matched what was in the application databases.

At Anthropic, our Claude models are not trained on user conversations [by default](https://privacy.anthropic.com/en/articles/10023580-i-want-to-opt-out-of-my-prompts-and-results-being-used-for-training-models), and we take the protection of our users’ data very seriously. How, then, can we research and observe how our systems are used while rigorously maintaining user privacy?
