DeepSeek has a specific GDPR concern. The DeepSeek service stores personal data in China and was blocked by the Italian regulator in January 2025. Not advisable for regulated sectors unless you host the model yourself within the EU. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in housing associations & owners' association management.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Tenant and owner files contain personal data (GDPR). Only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting; do not store audio recordings of meetings unencrypted on external servers. AI-supported decisions on rent arrears or allocation priorities fall under the EU AI Act (high-risk category where access to housing is affected) and require human oversight. Always have a staff member confirm critical decisions.

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.
