Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Medication data is special category personal data under the GDPR. Only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting; do not store audio recordings of pharmaceutical consultations unencrypted on external servers. AI-supported medication reviews and interaction checks are supportive only: the pharmacist remains ultimately responsible for pharmaceutical care and must never rely blindly on algorithmic outcomes.

Microsoft 365 Copilot (business) falls under the EU Data Boundary and does not train on tenant data. Consumer Copilot does train by default, with an 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.
