Kimi raises a specific 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 temporary staffing & flexible work.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionCandidate profiles, job applications and assessments are personal data under the GDPR. Automated matching and selection fall under the AI Act (high risk for decisions about access to work): be transparent and keep a human in the loop. Never send CAO-sensitive payroll or BSN (citizen service number) data to a consumer version of a chatbot. Check whether AI matching models introduce unintended discrimination (age, origin, gender) and record audits.
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.
