Llama is not on our list for GP practices. Usable for general work, but first look at the options we recommend for GP practices.
- GDPR profileOur summary of what the provider itself publishes about your data: EU hosting possible, no training on your data for business use, and self-hosting available. Caution applies to a model with a documented problem, such as an investigation by a regulator. How we measure

Llama has a specific GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for businesses headquartered in the EU. Dutch businesses are therefore not permitted under the licence to install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in GP practices.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: CautionPatient data is special category personal data (GDPR, WGBO). Only use systems with NEN 7510 certification, a data processing agreement and EU hosting; audio recordings of consultations must not be stored unencrypted with external servers. AI-supported triage and diagnostics are supportive, the GP remains ultimately responsible and must verify all AI output. Systems classed as high risk under the EU AI Act (diagnostic decisions) require an audit trail and explainability.
Self-hosting gives full data control within your own EU infrastructure, a strong GDPR argument.
