  • Use the business variant and sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
  • Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.
  • Ask the provider explicitly where data is stored and processed.
  • Keep a professional in the loop: farm data (plots, yields, inputs) is commercially sensitive and partly falls under European rules on agricultural data (EU Data Act).
