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 collections & debt management.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Debtors can be vulnerable people; automated decisions about debt recovery fall under the AI Act (high risk) and require human oversight. Debtors' personal data is squarely personal data under the GDPR, only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting. Automated calling and sending WhatsApp messages for commercial collection requires consent or a legitimate interest under the Telecommunications Act. BFT supervision requires a full audit trail of all automated actions per case.

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.
