Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

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.

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.
