Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Copyright and source protection weigh heavily: check whether AI output can be used without rights issues, and never enter informants' source material into a consumer chatbot.

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.
