4. AI Processing and Data Retention

Clause Labs AI uses Anthropic's Claude API for contract analysis. Our agreement with Anthropic includes:

  • Zero retention: Anthropic does not retain or log contract text sent via our API
  • No training: Your contract data is never used to train or fine-tune AI models
  • Processing only: Contract text is transmitted via encrypted TLS 1.3 connection, processed, and the response is returned. No copies are kept

Analysis results (risk scores, findings, suggestions) are stored in our database and associated with your account. You can delete these at any time by deleting the associated contract.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We share data only with:

  • Anthropic (Claude API): Contract text for AI analysis (zero retention agreement)
  • Stripe: Payment processing
  • Supabase: Database hosting and authentication infrastructure
  • Cloudflare: CDN, DDoS protection, and SSL termination

All service providers are bound by data processing agreements that require them to protect your data and process it only as instructed.

6. Data Security

We protect your data with:

  • TLS 1.3 encryption for all data in transit
  • AES-256 encryption for all data at rest
  • Row-level security (RLS) on all database tables
