Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Governments fall under stricter rules (GDPR, Open Government Act, EU AI Act, archiving law) and algorithm registers. Choose demonstrably EU-hosted or on-premise solutions and register AI 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.
