Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionMental health records contain special category personal data (health data, GDPR). Only use systems with 7510 certification, a data processing agreement and EU hosting; audio recordings of therapy sessions must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. AI-supported diagnostics and treatment decisions fall under the EU AI Act (high risk) and require human oversight and an audit trail. A BIG-registered professional remains ultimately responsible for the content of the record.
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.
