Questions

How safe is Source for greenhouse horticulture?
Source has a strong published GDPR profile and, with the right business settings, is well suited to greenhouse horticulture. EU options, no training on your data and/or self-hostable.
Does Source train on my data?
not publicly disclosed which AI models are used (proprietary cultivation models). According to the privacy statement, the servers are located in Frankfurt (Germany); processors work under a data processing agreement.
What should I look out for with AI in greenhouse horticulture?
Cultivation and climate data are commercially sensitive: they reveal your growing strategy, yield and energy consumption. Put in the contract that you remain owner of your data, where it is stored (ask for EU hosting) and whether the provider may use anonymised data from your greenhouse to improve its algorithms. If there is a chat function, ask which language model and which sub-processors sit behind it; most greenhouse platforms do not disclose this. If you record labour per employee, or cameras and robots capture images showing staff, you are processing personal data: conclude a data processing agreement and inform your employees. Never let an autonomous control system run without boundaries: set minimum and maximum values, keep alerts active and remain ultimately responsible for the crop and crop protection yourself.
