Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Production and process data is trade secret and sometimes subject to export controls. Check whether factory data leaves the premises and whether on-premise operation is possible.

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.
