Kimi raises a concrete GDPR concern. The parent company is based in Beijing and falls under Chinese security legislation; the privacy policy doesn't explicitly name that jurisdiction. Don't put confidential data into the consumer app; self-hosting the open weights is the safe route. Weigh this heavily before using it in fashion & textiles.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionSize advisors and virtual try-ons process body measurements, selfies or shopper photos: personal data, and possibly biometric data for facial images. Sign a data processing agreement with every provider and ask where the data is stored. With several providers in this sector, data goes to the US, Israel or the UK, and none of them states which AI model sits behind it. Read the terms on training: one provider excludes training on your images, while another (such as autoRetouch) may use your photos to train its own AI models. If you use AI models instead of real models, be honest about how clothing falls and fits, because consumer law prohibits misleading product information. Since August 2026, the EU AI Act requires you to label synthetic images as such. Record who holds the copyright on generated designs and images.
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.
