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.

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.

May I put confidential data into Claude?
Tenders, prices, contracts and bids are commercially confidential, and supplier and contact details 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 documents from an ongoing tender into a free chatbot. In public procurement, the Dutch Public Procurement Act (Aanbestedingswet) 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 having algorithms and AI developed' and take the EU AI Act into account. An AI-generated bid remains your responsibility: check every commitment. By default, data is stored in the US; EU data residency is possible via AWS Bedrock or Google Vertex AI (EU region).
