Gemini has a strongly published GDPR profile and, with the right business settings, is well usable in the legal profession.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: StrongProfessional secrecy is mandatory. Only enter client data into a business/EU variant with a data processing agreement, where input is not used for training. Always keep a lawyer in the loop.
Via Vertex AI, processing can be pinned to EU regions (including the Netherlands). Enterprise data is not used for training; the free consumer app offers fewer guarantees (though stricter policies apply for the EU/EEA).
