Grok carries a concrete GDPR concern. No EU hosting, and training is on by default (opt-out). Less suitable for confidential or regulated data. Weigh this heavily before you use it in elderly care & home care.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionYou work with special category personal data (health) of vulnerable clients who often cannot consent for themselves. Choose providers with NEN 7510 and ISO 27001, EU hosting and a data processing agreement, and check whether voice recordings are retained or used for training. Cameras and sensors require a DPIA, a case-by-case assessment (care plan, Care and Coercion Act) and clear agreements on who sees images or alerts. Reports drafted by AI remain the responsibility of the care worker: always read them back before saving.
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.
