Kimi has a specific GDPR concern. The parent company is based in Beijing and falls under Chinese security legislation; the privacy policy does not explicitly name that jurisdiction. Do not put confidential data into the consumer app; self-hosting the open weights is the safe route. Weigh this heavily before using it in financial advice.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionThe Wft duty of care and the GDPR set high demands: financial and health data belong only in GDPR-compliant systems with a data processing agreement, and the advice remains the adviser's responsibility.
The international service is provided by Moonshot AI Pte. Ltd. (Singapore); according to the privacy policy, data is stored on servers in Singapore and content may be used to improve the service. The K2 models are open-weight and can be self-hosted.
