Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Mind pupil privacy and fair assessment. AI detection is unreliable; make clear agreements about permitted use.

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.
