Entry-level compliance for teams from 5 users at around €25/user/month." image: "https://compound.law/assets/images/og-image-en.webp" source: "https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-team/" language: "en" --- ![Claude Team data processing agreement and GDPR review for companies in Germany](https://compound.law/assets/images/tools/tools_1.webp) tools # Claude Team Germany: GDPR, DPA & Pricing for Businesses 25 April 2026 Is Claude Team GDPR-compliant and does it include a DPA? Yes, Claude Team includes an automatic Data Processing Agreement (DPA/AVV) under Article 28 GDPR, making it suitable for GDPR-compliant business use in Germany for teams of at least 5 users at approximately €25 per user per month. - Claude Team includes a DPA — Claude Free and Claude Pro do not. - Minimum 5 users; approximately €25/user/month on annual billing. - No SSO, audit logs, or Zero-Data-Retention — those are Claude Enterprise features. **Claude Team** is Anthropic’s entry-level business tier and the smallest Claude plan that includes a **Data Processing Agreement (DPA/AVV)** under Article 28 GDPR. Buyers in Germany searching for “claude team dpa”, “claude team gdpr”, or “claude business germany” are usually asking a procurement question: can Claude be used lawfully for business data, and what is the right starting point? The short answer: **yes, Claude Team is suitable for GDPR-compliant business use** — with a minimum of 5 users and approximately €25 per user per month on annual billing. > **Short answer** > > Claude Team includes an automatic DPA under Article 28 GDPR and is suitable for GDPR-compliant business operations. > > - Minimum **5 users** required; approximately **€25/user/month** (annual billing). > - **No SSO, audit logs, or Zero-Data-Retention** — those features require Claude Enterprise. > - Claude Free and Claude Pro contain **no DPA** — they are not suitable for processing personal data in a business context. ## What is Claude Team? **Claude Team** is Anthropic’s entry-level product for organisations and business teams. It is designed for small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) in Germany and across the DACH region that want to use the Claude AI assistant for productivity and knowledge work, without the complexity of a custom Enterprise contract. What is included in Claude Team: - **Access to the full Claude model** for all team members - **Extended context window** compared to Free and Pro tiers - **Automatic DPA (Data Processing Agreement / AVV)** incorporated into Anthropic’s commercial terms under Article 28 GDPR - **Centralised team administration** via an admin dashboard - **No training on customer data** — Anthropic states explicitly that commercial customer data is not used to train its models by default What is **not** included (and only available in Claude Enterprise): - SSO integration (Single Sign-On) - Audit logs for compliance documentation - Custom system prompts at the organisational level - Zero-Data-Retention (ZDR) as an optional add-on ## Is Claude Team GDPR-compliant? For companies in Germany, the core answer is: **yes, Claude Team can be used in a GDPR-compliant way — but the assessment depends on your specific use case.** The decisive difference from Claude Free and Claude Pro is that **Claude Team automatically includes a DPA** under Article 28 GDPR. The table below shows which Anthropic plans include a DPA (as of 1 January 2026): | Plan | DPA/AVV included | Suitable for GDPR/DSGVO business use | | ----------------- | ------------------- | ------------------------------------ | | Claude Free | No | No — consumer terms only | | Claude Pro | No | No — consumer terms only | | **Claude Team** | **Yes (automatic)** | **Yes — minimum 5 users** | | Claude Enterprise | Yes (automatic) | Yes | | Anthropic API | Yes (automatic) | Yes | Three points worth noting before procurement: - **Free and Pro tiers do not include a DPA.** Any business processing personal data on these tiers operates without a processor agreement under Article 28 GDPR — this is not a defensible GDPR position. - **The DPA is incorporated automatically** into Anthropic’s commercial terms — no separate signature is required for standard deployment. - The current DPA version is effective **1 January 2026**. Confirm the applicable version at time of contract. For a detailed guide to the contents of the Claude DPA, access to contract documentation, and typical review questions, see our dedicated [Claude DPA](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-dpa/) page.

For German companies, the practical distinction between Claude Team and Claude Enterprise is often the most important procurement question: | Feature | Claude Team | Claude Enterprise | | --------------------- | ------------------------- | ----------------- | | DPA/AVV included | Yes | Yes | | Minimum users | 5 | No stated minimum | | Price | \~€25/user/month (annual) | Custom-quoted | | SSO | No | Yes | | Audit logs | No | Yes | | Custom system prompts | No | Yes | | Context window | Extended | Largest available | | Zero-Data-Retention | No | Optional add-on | **Claude Team is the right fit for:** - SMEs with 5–50 users needing a GDPR-compliant AI solution with a DPA - Teams without a need for complex SSO or audit-log requirements - Companies that do not want to negotiate a custom Enterprise contract **Claude Enterprise is the right choice when:** - SSO or SCIM is required for identity management - Compliance teams rely on audit logs for documentation - Zero-Data-Retention is needed for high-sensitivity workflows - Custom governance controls at the organisational level are required For a detailed comparison, including DPA and EU hosting specifics, see our [Claude Enterprise Germany](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-enterprise/) page. > **Comparing Claude Team and Claude Enterprise?** > > Claude Team is the entry-level GDPR-compliant tier. If your organisation needs SSO, audit logs, Zero-Data-Retention, or a larger context window, [Claude Enterprise](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-enterprise/) is the next step. See our full feature and DPA comparison at the link above. ## What is Claude Business? **Claude Business** is the former name of Anthropic’s entry-level business plan, which is now called **Claude Team**. There is no standalone Anthropic product currently called “Claude Business.” If you encountered the term “claude business plan” or “claude business germany” in earlier research or comparisons, it refers to what is now Claude Team — the entry-level business tier with an automatic DPA. The renaming did not change the product or contract framework. The DPA was included under the former name too. ## Pricing and Minimum Users: What Does Claude Team Cost? Claude Team has a public price model — unlike Claude Enterprise: - **Price:** approximately **€25 per user per month** on annual billing - **Minimum volume:** **5 users** - **Billing cycle:** Annual, paid upfront For a team of 10, that comes to approximately €3,000 per year (10 × €25 × 12). For larger teams or those with stronger governance needs, a comparison with Claude Enterprise may be worthwhile — even though Enterprise pricing is not publicly listed. For current official pricing, visit [Anthropic](https://www.anthropic.com/pricing) directly. For questions about contract structuring or DPA review, [contact us](https://compound.law/en-DE/#booking). ## Can Claude Team Be Used for Employee or Customer Data? The answer depends on the specific workflow. **Lower-risk deployments** (often straightforward to justify): - Internal research, drafting, and summarization without sensitive content - Pseudonymized or redacted documents - Standardized operational workflows with human review at the end **Deployments requiring closer review:** - **Customer data with personal content** — the legal basis, scope, and customer notice requirements must be assessed - **Employee data** — in Germany, co-determination rights under **section 87(1) no. 6 BetrVG** may apply; a DPIA can become mandatory - **Special-category data** under Article 9 GDPR (health, biometric, union membership) — significantly stricter requirements apply - **Trade secrets and confidential documents** — confidentiality, access controls, and internal approval rules require a separate review The better procurement question is not “Is Claude Team GDPR compliant?” but whether **your specific Claude deployment** is contractually and operationally defensible. A full GDPR checklist is available on our [Claude GDPR compliance](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-gdpr/) page. ## EU Hosting and Data Transfers with Claude Team Claude Team purchased directly from Anthropic does **not offer dedicated EU-only hosting**. Data is processed in the US by default. The DPA includes Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to address the third-country transfer requirement under Chapter V GDPR — but data residency within Europe is not guaranteed. If EU-only data residency is a hard requirement, there are two architecturally confirmed paths: | Deployment path | Data location | EU-only possible? | | ------------------------------ | ------------- | ------------------------------------------------ | | claude.ai / Claude Team direct | US by default | No | | Claude via AWS Bedrock | Configurable | Yes — Frankfurt, Ireland, Paris | | Claude via Google Vertex AI | Configurable | Yes — Belgium, Netherlands, and other EU regions | For further details on EU hosting options and their implications for contract structure and compliance, see our [Claude EU Hosting](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-eu-hosting/) page. ## Checklist: Deploying Claude Team in a GDPR-Compliant Way Before rollout, procurement and legal teams should work through at least the following steps: 1. **Confirm the plan and minimum volume.** Claude Team requires at least 5 users — verify that the minimum is met. 2. **Review the DPA.** Check whether Anthropic’s commercial terms fit the specific Claude deployment and actual data flows. 3. **Classify data types.** Separate lower-risk productivity content from customer data, employee data, and Article 9 special-category data. 4. **Document the international transfer.** SCCs are included in the DPA — ensure this is correctly reflected in your record of processing activities. 5. **Clarify EU hosting requirements.** If EU-only residency is required, Claude Team direct is not the right solution. 6. **Assess labor-law risk.** For workflows involving employee data, involve HR, privacy, and where relevant the works council early. 7. **Set internal usage rules.** Define what employees may and may not upload, and record this in writing. Compound Law advises businesses, founders, and in-house teams in Germany on **GDPR, commercial contracts, employment law, and AI procurement**. If you want to review a Claude rollout or have questions about the DPA, [contact us](https://compound.law/en-DE/#booking). ## FAQ ### Does Claude Team include a DPA? Yes. Anthropic incorporates a **Data Processing Agreement (DPA/AVV)** under Article 28 GDPR automatically into its commercial terms. This applies to Claude Team, Claude Enterprise, and the Anthropic API — but not to Claude Free or Claude Pro. No separate signature is required for standard deployment. For a detailed guide to the DPA contents and review process, see our [Claude DPA](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-dpa/) page. ### How does Claude Team differ from Claude Enterprise? Claude Team is the entry-level tier with a transparent price model (approx. €25/user/month, min. 5 users) and an automatic DPA — but without SSO, audit logs, or Zero-Data-Retention. **Claude Enterprise** adds these features for organisations with more complex compliance needs and is custom-quoted. A full comparison is available on our [Claude Enterprise Germany](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-enterprise/) page. ### How many users do I need for Claude Team? At least **5 users**. Claude Team is the smallest Anthropic plan with a DPA and GDPR-compliant business setup. For teams of fewer than 5 users, Anthropic does not currently offer a business product with a DPA — in that case, the Anthropic API with its own automatic DPA is a possible alternative. ### What does Claude Team cost for companies in Germany? Approximately **€25 per user per month** on annual billing. For a team of 10, this amounts to approximately €3,000 per year. Claude Enterprise has no public pricing and is negotiated individually on request. ### Can Claude Team be used for employee data? Sometimes, but stricter requirements apply. In Germany, workflows involving employee data can trigger co-determination rights under **section 87(1) no. 6 BetrVG**. A **Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA)** may also be required. HR, privacy, and where relevant the works council should be involved early. ### What is Claude Business? **Claude Business** is the former name of Anthropic’s entry-level business plan, now called **Claude Team**. The renaming did not change the product or its contract framework. There is no current standalone Anthropic product called “Claude Business.” ### Does Claude Team offer EU hosting? Claude Team purchased directly from Anthropic does not offer dedicated EU-only hosting — data is processed in the US by default. If EU-only data residency is required, Claude can be accessed via **AWS Bedrock** (Frankfurt, Ireland, Paris) or **Google Vertex AI** (EU regions). The contract path and tier differ in that case. Details are available on our [Claude EU Hosting](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/claude-eu-hosting/) page. ## Related Tool Guides [![Canva DPA data processing addendum reviewed under Article 28 GDPR](https://compound.law/assets/images/tools/tools_3.webp)](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/canva-dpa/) [tools](https://compound.law/en-DE/tools/canva-dpa/) ### [Does Canva Offer a DPA?
