Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Strong

Candidate profiles, job applications and assessments are personal data under the GDPR. Automated matching and selection fall under the AI Act (high risk for decisions about access to work): be transparent and keep a human in the loop. Never send CAO-sensitive payroll or BSN (citizen service number) data to a consumer version of a chatbot. Check whether AI matching models introduce unintended discrimination (age, origin, gender) and record audits.

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.
