Throwing a boilerplate legal defense in response to a question that’s most likely being asked casually is a total tone shift. No one’s going to think, “wow, this person really knows their rights!”
It almost makes you sound guilty of something. Preemptively defensive when you haven’t been pressed in the slightest
I didn’t assume it had to be stated like a legal disclaimer, whatever kind of response a person makes it’s good to match the interviewers tone. I agree with you that you don’t want to come off confrontational, I didn’t read it that way.
What kind of jobs have you applied for where the interview was an interrogation requiring you to be defensive? Every interview I have EVER had has been friendly, from field construction to corporate offices.

But you’re replying in a comment chain that’s talking about phrasing it the way that was quoted.
Yeah, casually asking something on a job interview
