Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Debtors can be vulnerable people; automated decisions about debt recovery fall under the AI Act (high risk) and require human oversight. Debtors' personal data is squarely personal data under the GDPR, only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting. Automated calling and sending WhatsApp messages for commercial collection requires consent or a legitimate interest under the Telecommunications Act. BFT supervision requires a full audit trail of all automated actions per case.

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.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
