Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

AI systems for underwriting, premium calculation and claims handling fall under the EU AI Act (high risk for life insurance and health-related policies): human oversight, audit logs and explainability are mandatory. The DNB requires insurers to inform customers when AI has decision-making authority. Insurance data contains health and financial information, special category personal data under the GDPR. Only use solutions with a data processing agreement, EU hosting and explainable AI (XAI).

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.
