Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Occupancy sensors, bookings and badge data are often personal data: measure at room or zone level rather than individual employee level, and involve the works council when introducing it (WOR art. 27 for staff monitoring systems). Avoid camera footage for cleaning measurement. Put a data processing agreement and EU hosting in place with every AI provider, especially if work orders contain photos of buildings, employees or residents.

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.
