Copilot has a specific GDPR concern. The Claude models within Copilot officially sit outside the EU Data Boundary. If you want strictly EU-only processing, exclude the Claude models in the admin panel. Weigh this heavily before using it in the events industry.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Attendee data (name, company, dietary requirements, payment details) is personal data under the GDPR. Only use platforms with a data processing agreement and preferably EU hosting. Automated matchmaking based on profile or behavioural data may be classed as profiling, be transparent and ask for consent. Never put attendee lists into a consumer version of a chatbot.

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.
