Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: UnknownAttendee data (name, company, dietary requirements, payment details) is personal data under the GDPR. Only use platforms with a data processing agreement and preferably EU hosting. Automated matchmaking based on profile or behavioural data may be classed as profiling, be transparent and ask for consent. Never put attendee lists into a consumer version of a chatbot.
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.
