Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Quotes, prices, contracts and submissions are commercially confidential; supplier and contact details also contain personal data. Sign a data processing agreement, ask where the data is stored (EU hosting) and which AI sub-processors are used, and get it recorded that your bids and spend data are not used to train models. Never paste confidential documents from an ongoing tender into a free chatbot. In public procurement, the Dutch Public Procurement Act and the principles of equal treatment and transparency apply: do not let AI award or exclude on its own, and explain how an assessment was reached. If you as a public body procure AI yourself, use the PIANOo guideline 'Buying or having algorithms and AI developed' and take the AI Act into account. An AI-generated submission remains your responsibility: check every commitment.

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.

Questions about ChatGPT for procurement & tendering

Is ChatGPT suitable for procurement & tendering?
Yes. ChatGPT is strong across a wide range of tasks and good at agentic coding and debugging, which fits well with procurement and tendering. Always assess the specific task and keep a professional in the loop.
May I put confidential data into ChatGPT?
Quotes, prices, contracts and bids are commercially confidential, and supplier and contact details can contain personal data. Sign a data processing agreement, ask where the data is stored (EU hosting) and which AI sub-processors are used, and have it recorded that your bids and spend data are not used to train models. Never paste confidential parts of an ongoing tender into a free chatbot. In public procurement, the Dutch Public Procurement Act and the principles of equal treatment and transparency apply: do not let AI award or exclude independently, and explain how an assessment was reached. If you are a public body buying AI yourself, use the PIANOo guide 'Buying or commissioning algorithms and AI' and take the EU AI Act into account. An AI-generated bid remains your responsibility: check every commitment. EU data residency is available for Enterprise, Edu and the API. Business and API data are by default not used for training; consumer tiers (Free/Plus/Pro) are, unless you turn this off.
