AI Scene Descriptions: Data Security and Privacy

Think Crew uses Claude AI technology to automatically generate scene descriptions for your scripts and schedules. This feature is designed to save you time while maintaining the highest standards of data security and privacy. This article provides complete transparency about how this process works, how your data is handled, and what security measures are in place.

How AI Scene Descriptions Work

Where You’ll Find This Feature

AI scene descriptions are available in two locations:

  1. During Script Import – Scene descriptions can be automatically generated when you upload a new script
  2. Within Existing Scripts/Schedules – Generate descriptions for selected scenes on-demand from the script or schedule pages

The Technology Behind the Feature

Think Crew partners with Anthropic to provide AI-powered scene descriptions using Claude AI. This integration allows us to offer state-of-the-art natural language processing capabilities while maintaining strict data security protocols.

Data Flow and Security Process

Step-by-Step Data Journey

Understanding exactly how your data moves through our system is important for your peace of mind. Here’s the complete process:

  1. User Initiates Request
    • You select scenes for description generation in your browser
    • Your browser sends the scene data to Think Crew’s secure API
  2. Think Crew API Processing
    • Our API receives your scene data on our secure servers
    • We use the official @anthropic-ai/sdk to format and send requests to Claude AI
    • Only the specific scene content you’ve selected is transmitted
  3. Claude AI Processing
    • Anthropic’s Claude AI analyzes the scene content and generates descriptions
    • Claude processes this data according to Anthropic’s strict privacy standards
    • Generated descriptions are returned to Think Crew’s API
  4. Data Return and Storage
    • Think Crew’s API receives the generated descriptions from Claude
    • The descriptions are sent back to your browser for immediate use
    • Generated descriptions are stored in Think Crew’s database for future reference

Security Measures in Place

  • Encrypted Transmission: All data is transmitted using industry-standard encryption (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Secure API Integration: We use Anthropic’s official SDK with proper authentication
  • Minimal Data Sharing: Only the specific scene content you select is shared with Claude AI
  • No Persistent Storage at Anthropic: Your script content is not stored by Anthropic after processing

Privacy and Data Protection
