Frequently asked questions
ClapNClaw is built for GDPR compliance. All customer data is stored on dedicated servers in the Hetzner data center in Frankfurt (ISO 27001 certified). AI inference runs via AWS Bedrock eu-central-1 without data storage. A data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR is included in the contract.
Your dedicated VPS is located at Hetzner in Frankfurt am Main. AI inference runs via AWS Bedrock eu-central-1 (also in Frankfurt). Not a single byte leaves the EU.
No. AWS Bedrock does not store inputs or outputs and does not use them for model training. Your chat history stays exclusively on your private server in Frankfurt.
A data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR governs how we handle your data as a processor. Yes — every ClapNClaw contract includes a complete DPA.
Yes. ClapNClaw's architecture is designed to create the technical conditions for §203-compliant use: a dedicated VPS with hypervisor isolation and a sandbox with no data access by ClapNClaw. The legal assessment remains the responsibility of the individual professional bound by confidentiality.
A DPIA (data protection impact assessment) under Art. 35 GDPR may be required if you process special categories of personal data (e.g. health data). ClapNClaw provides a DPIA template and technical documentation.
Only you and your team. ClapNClaw operates dedicated VPS instances with hypervisor isolation — your server is separated from all others. We have no access to your data, chats or documents. AWS Bedrock likewise stores no data.
Because you own a dedicated VPS, you have full control over data deletion. When the contract ends, the VPS is fully deprovisioned and all data is permanently erased. AWS Bedrock stores no data in the first place.
