We believe you have a right to know exactly what data we hold about you and why. This policy is written in plain language. If anything is unclear, email privacy@reglegbrief.com and we will explain it to you directly.

4. AI Processing Disclosure

RegLegBrief uses AI systems (Anthropic Claude) to generate regulatory briefings from primary source documents. This is how the platform works — it is disclosed clearly and is not a hidden process.

What we send to the AI: Regulatory source content (text from official regulatory body documents). We do not send your personal data, email address, professional description, or any other identifying information to the AI system.

AI training: Your personal data is never used to train AI models. The AI processing is used solely to generate regulatory briefings, not to process, analyse, or profile you as an individual.

The AI-guided onboarding conversation maps your professional description to regulatory categories. This processing happens entirely within our own system and the result (a set of regulatory category codes) is stored in your profile. Your free-text description is deleted from the AI system immediately after processing and retained only in your account profile subject to our standard retention rules.

5. Third-Party Processors

We use the following third-party processors. Each has been selected for data protection compliance and operates under a Data Processing Agreement:

Processor Role Data Touched Location
Hetzner Online GmbH Server and database hosting All data (hosted on our server) Nuremberg, Germany
Cloudflare, Inc. CDN and DNS IP addresses, traffic metadata United States (SCCs in place)
