AI Transparency

How we work with AI

Beyond7 is an AI enablement company based in Hamburg. We work with AI systems in every project, primarily with Claude by Anthropic. This page discloses which systems we use, what happens to your data, where it is processed, and how we secure that contractually. For clients, partners, and everyone who works with us.

Why this page?

We bring agentic work into companies. It would be odd if we worked any other way ourselves: research, analyses, proposals, code, and documentation at Beyond7 are produced with AI assistance. Anyone working with Beyond7 should know that before the first joint meeting.

That is why everything that is usually scattered across contract annexes lives here in one place: the systems we use, how we handle data, and the contractual safeguards. Our privacy policy and our data processing agreements reference this page. We recommend the same openness to our clients toward their customers.

Which AI systems do we use?

Our primary tool is Claude by Anthropic: Claude Code for agentic work and the Claude apps for chat and research. We use Claude through a commercial Claude for Work plan (Team) governed by Anthropic's Commercial Terms of Service. This matters because commercial plans follow different data rules than personal accounts.

Typical uses in client projects: research and evaluation, drafting, analysis of documents and data, code and automation, project organization. Client data only enters processing within the scope of the respective engagement.

What happens to your data?

The key points, each backed by an official Anthropic source:

No training
Anthropic does not train its models on content from commercial plans, neither inputs nor outputs. This is set out in the Commercial Terms of Service.
Data processing
Anthropic processes data as a processor. The Data Processing Addendum (DPA), including EU Standard Contractual Clauses, is part of the Commercial Terms. The contracting entity for EEA customers is Anthropic Ireland, Limited (Dublin).
Processing location
United States. The Team plan currently offers no EU data residency, and we state that here as plainly as it is. The transfer is secured through EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR). Anthropic is currently not a participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (participant list checked, as of August 2026).
Retention
Conversations can be deleted at any time; Anthropic removes deleted content from backend systems within 30 days. Details: Anthropic Privacy Center.
Data minimization
We only put the data into processing that the respective engagement requires. For particularly sensitive data, we align with you beforehand, including whether it belongs in an AI system at all.
Subprocessors
Anthropic maintains a public subprocessor list (including Google Cloud, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Cloudflare).

How is Anthropic certified?

Anthropic holds the established security and management certifications: SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (information security), ISO/IEC 42001:2023 (responsible AI management), ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018 (cloud security and PII protection), and CSA STAR.

Current attestations, audit reports, and the subprocessor list are available in the Anthropic Trust Center.

How do we secure this contractually?

Wherever we process personal data on behalf of our clients, we sign a data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR and list Anthropic in it as a subprocessor, referencing this page as the continuously maintained overview.

For the processing of contact and project data of our business partners, the AI section of our privacy policy applies in addition.

01

Openness over fine print

We actively state that and how we work with AI, instead of hiding it in contract annexes. This page is the central place for that.

02

Commercial plans, clear rules

Client work runs exclusively on our Claude for Work plan under Commercial Terms: no training on your content, DPA included.

03

Data minimization

Processing gets what the engagement requires. For sensitive data, we align with you beforehand on whether and how it belongs in an AI system.

04

Responsibility stays with us

AI output ships reviewed. We stand behind the quality of our work, regardless of which tool was involved in producing it.
