Customer data (name and address, vehicle history, financing status) is personal data under the GDPR. Put a data processing agreement in place with AI providers and check whether data is stored outside the EU. Automated lead follow-up by phone or WhatsApp must comply with the Dutch Telecommunications Act (consent for commercial calls).

EU data residency available for Enterprise, Edu and the API. Business and API data are not used for training by default; consumer tiers (Free/Plus/Pro) are, unless you turn this off.
