Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Unknown

Traveller data (passport details, payment information, stay history) is personal data under the GDPR. Use systems with a data processing agreement and EU hosting; check whether chatbots store guest data on servers outside the EU. Automated personalised pricing or profiling must not lead to discriminatory offers. Communicate transparently when travellers are speaking with an AI assistant rather than a human.

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.
