What Llama does in beauty & wellness

Core tasks in beauty & wellness
Where Llama is strong
  • Open weights, fully self-hostable
  • Fine-tunable on your own data
  • Very large context window (Scout 10M)
  • GPU-efficient (Mixture-of-Experts)

Llama has a specific GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for businesses headquartered in the EU. Dutch businesses therefore may not, under the licence, install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in beauty & wellness.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Customer data (name and address, treatment history, payment information) is personal data under the GDPR. Only use systems with a data processing agreement and preferably EU hosting. Be transparent when customers speak with an AI receptionist rather than a member of staff. Health data (skin or hair diagnoses) may be classed as special category personal data, check this against your privacy policy.

Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
