Llama has a concrete GDPR concern. The Llama 4 Acceptable Use Policy prohibits the multimodal models for businesses headquartered in the EU. Dutch companies therefore may not install the multimodal Llama 4 models themselves under the licence. Weigh this heavily before deploying it in non-profit & fundraising.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Caution

Donor data is personal data under the GDPR; use only systems with a data processing agreement and preferably EU hosting. Automated donor profiling (wealth screening) can be sensitive: be transparent in your privacy policy. AI-written grant applications require human checking for accuracy and alignment with the organisation's identity.

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.
