Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Project data and customer details (address, energy consumption, installation status) are personal data under the GDPR. Only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting. Technical documentation from manufacturers may be protected by copyright; check the usage licence before loading it into an AI system. AI estimates are always a starting point, expert verification remains essential.

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.
