Claude Code sends your email address to websites

Claude Code is exposing users' email addresses to third-party websites by including them in the User-Agent header during web searches without explicit permission, according to a bug report filed on GitHub. The reporter claims this practice has resulted in receiving dozens of scam emails daily and states that the feature should be completely removed rather than made optional. The issue has garnered significant community concern, with the reporter indicating they are switching to alternative AI services due to privacy concerns.
