Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionMember and health data (training history, body measurements, injuries) are personal data under the GDPR. Only use platforms with a data processing agreement and EU hosting. AI-driven selection or exclusion of members based on health data falls under high-risk in the EU AI Act. Be transparent with members about how their data is used for personalised recommendations.
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.
