Is there a reason you don't want any clock data to end up in the shared
tasks.org?

If not, one thing you could do is:

1) When claiming a task, each person uses a tag for their name (in
addition to, or instead of, just changing the TODO state).  Then that
person "owns" the clock data for that task.

2) Then use the :tags option on a clock table to filter the clock data
for just the tasks you personally have worked on; each person can have
their own table (in tasks.org).

For example, suppose you have a task like:

* TODO Frobnicate something

You claim it by changing that to:

* IN_PROGRESS Frobnicate something              :gareth:

Check that in, then start your clock in this tree.

Somewhere else in the file, you have a clock table like:

#+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 3 :scope file :tags "+gareth"
#+CAPTION: Gareth's working time on all tasks
# ...
#+END:

which will show you the clock data for just the tasks you've worked on
(i.e., are tagged in).

Richard
