GDPR-aligned AI for law firms handling EU client matters
Your associates use ChatGPT to draft contracts, summarise discovery, refine pleadings. The moment client identity, witness statements, or counterparty personal data enters a prompt, you've triggered GDPR — and possibly privilege concerns under the SRA Code or your bar's equivalent. TeamPrompt blocks personal data and privileged identifiers before they reach OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.
Legal AI Controls
GDPR requirements when associates use AI tools
Every feature designed to help your team work smarter with AI.
Personal data detection (Art 4(1))
Names, email addresses, ID numbers, location data, biometric identifiers — the categories GDPR Article 4(1) defines as personal data — detected and blocked before reaching AI providers.
Privilege markers + matter identifiers
Client matter numbers, privilege headers ('Privileged & Confidential', 'Attorney-Client Communication'), opposing party identifiers — flagged with stricter policy than ordinary personal data.
Article 30 records of processing
Every AI interaction logged with controller (firm), data categories, lawful basis (legitimate interests / consent), retention period, and recipients — directly populating your Article 30 records of processing activities.
Data minimisation enforcement
GDPR Article 5(1)(c) requires personal data be limited to what's necessary. When associates try to paste full client files, TeamPrompt enforces redaction at the prompt level — minimising data before it ever leaves the firm.
Cross-border transfer prevention
When ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini processing happens outside the EEA, personal data transfer triggers Chapter V requirements (SCCs, adequacy decisions). TeamPrompt blocks the transfer trigger at the source — no transfer means no Chapter V exposure.
Per-matter compliance reports
Filter the audit trail by matter number for client transparency, by associate for partner oversight, or by data category for ICO / CNIL inspection readiness. Exports formatted for European supervisory authority requests.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does using ChatGPT trigger GDPR for our law firm?
Yes, whenever the prompt contains personal data of an EU data subject. Your firm becomes the controller of that processing under Article 4(7). OpenAI/Anthropic/Google become processors. Whether you have the lawful basis, the SCCs for transfer, and the Article 30 record depends on your specific situation — but the trigger is the prompt.
How does TeamPrompt address privilege risk specifically?
TeamPrompt detects privilege markers (header text, matter identifiers, client names you've configured) and applies stricter policies than ordinary personal data — typically a hard block rather than a redact. This preserves privilege by preventing the privileged communication from being transmitted to a third party at all.
What about Article 30 records of processing?
TeamPrompt's audit log captures every element Article 30 requires: controller (your firm), processor identity (which AI tool), data categories, lawful basis (configurable per policy), retention (per your firm's policy), and recipients. The log exports in formats supervisory authorities accept — we've seen ICO and CNIL request formats.
Is browser-side DLP enough to satisfy Article 32 security?
Article 32 requires 'appropriate technical and organisational measures' considering state of the art, costs, and risk. For AI tool usage specifically, browser-side prevention is arguably state-of-the-art: it blocks the data flow before it can be processed by the third-party AI provider. It's also operationally proportionate — minutes to deploy vs months for proxy-based alternatives.
