EU data residency

Stop choosing between Claude and GDPR.

Harriet lets you lock Claude Desktop to the EU so data stays safe and compliant.

The problem

Right now, every prompt is a GDPR decision.

Before each message, you're scanning for client names, contracts, personal data, anything a regulator might flag.

You should not have to choose between the best model and the law.

With Claude Desktop this prompt will leave the EU.

The fix

Run Claude inside the EU.

Harriet's desktop client can route every conversation through Anthropic's European region. You get Claude itself. The actual model runs fully on EU soil, with full EU data residency.

How it works

3 steps to EU-only.

Same Claude, same workflow. Just a different path to the model.

Step 01

Connect your team

Install Harriet on every device via SSO or MDM. Set policy by team, role, or device. No setup per user.

Step 02

Route through the EU

Harriet's gateway forwards prompts to EU-region endpoints. Same Claude, OpenAI and Gemini your team already uses.

Step 03

Stay compliant

Every conversation is covered by your providers' EU Data Processing Addenda. Usage and tool activity are tracked for compliance reviews.

FAQ

What compliance asks first.

Does Harriet keep Claude data inside the EU?

Yes. Harriet's gateway forwards prompts to EU-region endpoints, so the same Claude, OpenAI, and Gemini models your team already uses are processed in the EU, covered by your providers' EU Data Processing Addenda.

Can we mix EU-only and global routing by team?

Yes. Models are assigned per population: EU-only Claude for finance and legal, frontier models for engineering, one policy per team. Policy follows the team, not the individual laptop.

Do we have to set this up per user?

No. Install Harriet on every device via SSO or MDM and set policy by team, role, or device. Usage and tool activity are tracked automatically for compliance reviews.

Give compliance a yes.
