Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Image analysis AI is a medical device: only use software with a CE marking under the MDR (class IIa or higher) for the exact purpose you deploy it for, and document how you validate and keep monitoring performance locally. You process special category personal data: ask where images are processed (on-premise, EU cloud or outside), whether they are pseudonymised and whether they are used for training, and sign a data processing agreement. Many vendors run on AWS or Azure or have been acquired by US groups, so check the current data location. The radiologist remains ultimately responsible for the report.

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.
