GLM (Z.ai) raises a concrete GDPR concern. Parent company Zhipu (Beijing) is subject to Chinese data and security legislation, regardless of where the servers are located. For sensitive data, self-hosting the MIT-licensed weights is the recommended mitigation. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in housing associations & owners' association management.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Tenant and owner files contain personal data (GDPR). Only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting; do not store audio recordings of meetings unencrypted on external servers. AI-supported decisions on rent arrears or allocation priorities fall under the EU AI Act (high-risk category where access to housing is affected) and require human oversight. Always have a staff member confirm critical decisions.

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.
