Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Debtors can be vulnerable people; automated decisions about debt recovery fall under the AI Act (high risk) and require human oversight. Debtors' personal data is squarely personal data under the GDPR, only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting. Automated calling and sending WhatsApp messages for commercial collection requires consent or a legitimate interest under the Telecommunications Act. BFT supervision requires a full audit trail of all automated actions per case.

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.
Caution the Claude models within Copilot officially fall outside the EU Data Boundary. If you want strictly EU-only processing, exclude the Claude models in the admin panel.
