Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Unknown

Medication data is special category personal data under the GDPR. Only use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting; do not store audio recordings of pharmaceutical consultations unencrypted on external servers. AI-supported medication reviews and interaction checks are supportive only: the pharmacist remains ultimately responsible for pharmaceutical care and must never rely blindly on algorithmic outcomes.

Enterprise plans and the Sonar API are not trained on customer data (SOC 2 Type II; API with zero data retention). For consumer accounts, data use for model improvement can be switched off in the settings.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
