Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

You work with special category personal data (health) of vulnerable clients who often cannot consent for themselves. Choose providers with NEN 7510 and ISO 27001, EU hosting and a data processing agreement, and check whether voice recordings are retained or used for training. Cameras and sensors require a DPIA, a case-by-case assessment (care plan, Care and Coercion Act) and clear agreements on who sees images or alerts. Reports drafted by AI remain the responsibility of the care worker: always read them back before saving.

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.
