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. No confidential data in the consumer app; self-hosting the open weights is the safe route. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in dentistry.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionPatient records contain special category personal data (GDPR). Only use systems with EU or Dutch hosting and a data processing agreement; audio recordings of consultations must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. AI image diagnostics are supportive, the dentist remains ultimately responsible.
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.
