Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Debtors can be vulnerable people; automated decisions about debt recovery fall under the AI Act (high risk) and require human oversight. Debtors' personal data is squarely personal data under the GDPR, only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting. Automated calling and sending WhatsApp messages for commercial collection requires consent or a legitimate interest under the Telecommunications Act. BFT supervision requires a full audit trail of all automated actions per case.

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.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
