  • Donor management, segmentation and personalised follow-up

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 using it in non-profit & fundraising.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Donor data is personal data under the GDPR; use only systems with a data processing agreement and preferably EU hosting. Automated donor profiling (wealth screening) can be sensitive: be transparent in your privacy policy. AI-written grant applications require human checking for accuracy and alignment with the organisation's identity.

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.
