Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

In the social domain this involves special category personal data (health, debts, family situation, sometimes of children). Never use a free chatbot for conversations or files. Conclude a data processing agreement, require processing within the EU and no training on your data, ask which language models and sub-processors sit behind it, and carry out a DPIA. Ask the resident for consent before you record a conversation, and explain how long the recording and text are kept. Do not let AI itself judge whether someone is entitled to a provision or benefit: the EU AI Act classes systems that determine access to public services as high-risk, and the childcare benefits scandal shows what goes wrong without human checking. Register the application in the Algorithm Register and check every report before it goes into the file.

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.
