What Perplexity does in GP practices

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Unknown

Patient data is special category personal data (GDPR, WGBO). Only use systems with NEN 7510 certification, a data processing agreement and EU hosting; audio recordings of consultations must not be stored unencrypted with external servers. AI-supported triage and diagnostics are supportive, the GP remains ultimately responsible and must verify all AI output. Systems classed as high risk under the EU AI Act (diagnostic decisions) require an audit trail and explainability.

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.
