Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: StrongDrawings and zoning plan analyses form the basis for permits and liability; AI output is supportive and requires review by a qualified architect. Project data and designs are often commercially sensitive, check whether cloud services export data or use it for training.
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).
