Know-how protection in detail

The risk of public AI tools

Anyone who enters design data, cost calculations or tender documents into a public AI service risks losing trade secrets under the German Trade Secrets Act (GeschGehG). On top of that comes the GDPR: personal data of employees, clients or suppliers may not be transferred to US services without a valid legal framework in place.

What is permitted in day-to-day engineering work

AI is especially valuable for tasks without protected content or with anonymized documents: standards research and summaries, drafting proposals and scopes of work with placeholders, structuring meeting notes, technical documentation based on approved documents. The key point: the provider must offer an AVV under Art. 28 GDPR, and data must stay in the EU.

How ClapNClaw implements this

Your data resides with Hetzner in Frankfurt, AI inference runs via AWS Bedrock eu-central-1, Anthropic stores no inputs, and the US CLOUD Act does not apply. The AVV is included from day one. Your design drawings, calculations and project data are never used for AI training — 0 bytes leave your environment.
