GLM (Z.ai) raises a specific GDPR concern. Parent company Zhipu (Beijing) falls under Chinese data and security law, wherever the servers are located. For sensitive data, self-hosting the MIT-licensed weights is the recommended mitigation. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in hotels & holiday accommodation.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionYou handle a lot of personal data: names, contact details, passport numbers at check-in, payment details and sometimes requests that reveal something about health or religion (diet, accessibility). Sign a data processing agreement with every provider and ask where the data is stored, which language model sits behind the tool and which sub-processors are involved. Most hotel platforms do not make that public. Since August 2026, the EU AI Act requires you to tell guests they are speaking with an AI system and not a human. Staff who work with AI must understand what the system does (AI literacy). Only use guest profiles for marketing if you have a legal basis for it (consent, or legitimate interest with an opt-out). For dynamic pricing, set a minimum and maximum price and check that the AI assistant does not promise prices or conditions that are incorrect.
The international service Z.ai runs through JINGSHENG HENGXING TECHNOLOGY PTE. LTD. (Singapore); personal data is in principle processed in Singapore. According to the data processing agreement, API content is processed in real time and not stored. GLM-5.2 is open-weight under MIT and can therefore be fully self-hosted or hosted through an EU provider.
