  • 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: prospect data remains personal data; cold outreach with AI must still comply with the GDPR and the anti-spam rules.
