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 notarial work.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionNotaries are bound by strict confidentiality (art. 22 Wna) and liability for the content of deeds. Client data is personal data under the GDPR; audio recordings of signing meetings must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. Only use systems with EU hosting and a data processing agreement, where input is not used for model training. AI output for deeds and advice always requires verification by a qualified notary.
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.
