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 mention that jurisdiction. No confidential data in the consumer app; self-hosting the open weights is the safe route. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in sales & acquisition.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionProspect data remains personal data: cold outreach with AI must still comply with the GDPR and the ban on spam. Pay attention to where recorded sales calls are processed.
