Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

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.

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.
