Kimi raises a concrete 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 HR & personnel.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionPersonnel files contain special category personal data; AI decisions about employees quickly fall under the EU AI Act (high risk). Always keep HR in control and record what the AI is allowed to see.
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.
