How safe is Kimi for the events sector?

Kimi has a specific GDPR concern. The parent company is based in Beijing and falls under Chinese security legislation; the privacy policy does not explicitly name that jurisdiction. Do not put confidential data into the consumer app; self-hosting the open weights is the safe route. Weigh this heavily before using it in the events sector.

What should I watch out for with AI in the events sector?

Attendee 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.

Latest developments

26 July 2026Kimi K3 open weights (27 July): self-hosting avoids China transfer, licence still unclear

On 27 July 2026, Moonshot AI published the full open weights of Kimi K3 (2.8 trillion parameters, 1M-token context) on Hugging Face. Self-hosting on EU infrastructure sidesteps the GDPR data transfer problem of the hosted API (servers in China, no SCCs published). Point of attention: the final licence terms were not yet published at launch (26 July), Kimi K2 carried commercial restrictions above a certain usage scale. Verify the licence before production use. Infrastructure requirement: approx. 1.4 TB of storage, 350–400 GB of GPU memory with MXFP4 quantisation. source

16 July 2026Kimi K3: no opt-out for model training, data processed in China

At the launch of Kimi K3 (16 July 2026), Moonshot AI's privacy policy states that user content may be used for model training and optimisation, with no in-product opt-out. API calls via platform.moonshot.ai are processed on servers in China; an adequacy decision or SCCs are not explicitly documented. For EU organisations: do not enter personal data until Moonshot publishes a GDPR-compliant set-up. Self-hosting on EU infrastructure (open weights available from around 27 July 2026) avoids the transfer problem. source
