Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: StrongProject data and customer details (address, energy consumption, installation status) are personal data under the GDPR. Only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting. Technical documentation from manufacturers may be protected by copyright; check the usage licence before loading it into an AI system. AI estimates are always a starting point, expert verification remains essential.
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).
