Kimi raises a concrete GDPR concern. The parent company is based in Beijing and falls under Chinese security legislation; its 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 healthcare.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionMedical data is special category personal data. Only use solutions with appropriate safeguards (GDPR, EU hosting) and no training on patient data; a healthcare provider 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.
