Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Cultivation and climate data are commercially sensitive: they reveal your growing strategy, yield and energy consumption. Put in the contract that you remain owner of your data, where it is stored (ask for EU hosting) and whether the provider may use anonymised data from your greenhouse to improve its algorithms. If there is a chat function, ask which language model and which sub-processors sit behind it; most greenhouse platforms do not disclose this. If you record labour per employee, or cameras and robots capture images showing staff, you are processing personal data: conclude a data processing agreement and inform your employees. Never let an autonomous control system run without boundaries: set minimum and maximum values, keep alerts active and remain ultimately responsible for the crop and crop protection yourself.

Data is stored in the US by default; EU data residency is possible via AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI (EU region). Business tiers and the API do not train on your input; consumer tiers do, unless you opt out.

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 Claude for horticulture

Is Claude suitable for horticulture?
Yes. Claude is strong at reading long documents and codebases and at careful, traceable reasoning, which fits well with horticulture. Always assess the specific task and keep a professional in the loop.
May I put confidential data into Claude?
Crop and climate data is commercially sensitive: it reveals your growing strategy, yield and energy use. Write into the contract that you remain the owner of your data, where it is stored (ask for EU hosting), and whether the provider may use anonymised data from your greenhouse to improve its algorithms. If there is a chat function, ask which language model and which subprocessors sit behind it; most greenhouse platforms do not make this public. If you register labour per employee, or cameras and robots capture images showing staff, you are processing personal data: sign a data processing agreement and inform your employees. Never let an autonomous control system run without limits: set minimum and maximum values, keep alerting switched on and remain ultimately responsible yourself for the crop and crop protection. By default, data is stored in the US; EU data residency is possible via AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI (EU region). Business tiers and the API do not train on your input; consumer tiers do, unless you opt out.
