Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

This sector involves health data of trial participants and patients (special category personal data under Article 9 GDPR) and confidential research data. Ask every provider where the data is stored and whether it is used to train models: Castor hosts in the Netherlands (Google Cloud europe-west4) and does not share data or models between customers, Cradle states that source data never goes to third-party AI models, Iris.ai hosts on AWS in Ireland and Germany. Biolevate and Ennov also run in private cloud or on-premises. With Veeva Vault AI and Yseop, texts go to Anthropic models via Amazon Bedrock; check the region and the data processing agreement. If you work in GxP processes, an AI tool must also be validated (EU GMP Annex 11) and a competent employee remains responsible. For AI in medicines development, the EMA has a reflection paper (2024) and is working with the FDA on joint principles.

Data is held in the EU by default (Paris cloud, plus EU regions via Bedrock/Azure/Vertex). Open models run entirely in your own environment. Pro/Team/Enterprise and API do not train on your data.

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