  • Matter details (case names, parties, dates, jurisdiction, court/tribunal)

3. How We Use Your Data

We process your data for the following purposes, each with a lawful basis under UK GDPR:

PurposeLawful Basis

Processing documents through AI for analysis and draftingContract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Billing and subscription managementContract (Art. 6(1)(b))
Security monitoring and fraud preventionLegitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f))

Special category data: Legal case documents may contain special category data (health information, racial/ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, sexual orientation). We process this data under Art. 9(2)(f) — processing necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims. You control what documents you upload.

4. AI Processing Disclosure

Serverity uses two AI providers to process your data:

Anthropic (Claude)

  • Used for: primary document analysis, drafting, chronology generation, legal reasoning
  • Data sent: document text, matter context, prompts constructed by Serverity
  • Anthropic does not use API inputs/outputs to train models
  • Data is processed in accordance with Anthropic's API Terms of Service
  • Processing location: United States

OpenAI (GPT)

  • Used for: adversarial audit review (second-opinion verification of Claude outputs)
  • Data sent: AI-generated outputs for cross-verification, relevant document context
  • OpenAI does not use API inputs/outputs to train models (API data usage policy)
  • Data is processed in accordance with OpenAI's API Terms
  • Processing location: United States

Important: Neither AI provider retains your data after processing. Inputs and outputs are not used for model training. Serverity uses the API (not consumer) tiers of both services, which have stronger data protection commitments.

AI processing is integral to the Serverity service. If you do not wish your documents to be processed by AI, you should not use Serverity.

5. Data Sharing

We share your data only with the following categories of processor, all under appropriate data processing agreements:
