Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Personnel files contain special category personal data; AI decisions about employees quickly fall under the EU AI Act (high risk). Always keep HR in control and record what the AI is allowed to see.

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.
