Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Occupancy sensors, bookings and badge data are often personal data: measure at room or zone level rather than individual employee level, and involve the works council when introducing it (WOR art. 27 for staff monitoring systems). Avoid camera footage for cleaning measurement. Put a data processing agreement and EU hosting in place with every AI provider, especially if work orders contain photos of buildings, employees or residents.

No EU data residency; data goes to the US under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. X/Grok uses public posts and conversations for training by default, with opt-out. Subject of GDPR investigation by the Irish DPC.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
Caution no EU hosting, and training is on by default (opt-out). Less suitable for confidential or regulated data.
