Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Personnel files contain special category personal data; AI decisions about employees quickly fall under the EU AI Act (high risk). Always keep HR in control and record what the AI is allowed to see.

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.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
