Not advisable for regulated sectors unless you host the model yourself within the EU. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in facilities management & cleaning.

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.

The DeepSeek service stores data in China and uses it for training by default (with an opt-out). Only an EU self-hosted variant of the open weights is defensible for sensitive data.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
