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 terms, install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in facilities management & cleaning.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Occupancy sensors, bookings and badge data are often personal data: measure at room or zone level rather than individual employee level, and involve the works council when introducing it (WOR art. 27 for staff monitoring systems). Avoid camera footage for cleaning measurement. Put a data processing agreement and EU hosting in place with every AI provider, especially if work orders contain photos of buildings, employees or residents.

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.
