Kimi raises 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. Keep confidential data out of the consumer app; self-hosting the open weights is the safe route. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in mental health & psychology.
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.
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.
