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 mention that jurisdiction. Don't put confidential data into the consumer app; self-hosting the open weights is the safe route. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in hotels & hospitality.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionYou handle a lot of personal data: names, contact details, passport numbers at check-in, payment details and sometimes requests that reveal something about health or religion (diet, accessibility). Sign a data processing agreement with every provider and ask where the data is stored, which language model sits behind the tool and which sub-processors are involved. Most hotel platforms do not make that public. Since August 2026, the EU AI Act requires you to tell guests they are speaking with an AI system and not a human. Staff who work with AI must understand what the system does (AI literacy). Only use guest profiles for marketing if you have a legal basis for it (consent, or legitimate interest with an opt-out). For dynamic pricing, set a minimum and maximum price and check that the AI assistant does not promise prices or conditions that are incorrect.
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.
