How to use Veras safely

  • Use the business variant and sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
  • Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.
  • Enable EU data residency where the provider offers it.
  • Keep a professional in the loop: photos of clients' rooms are often personal data: they show the home and sometimes people, addresses or personal belongings.

Latest developments

9 November 2026Claude Code stores approved commands containing passwords in settings.local.json

If you choose "Yes, and don't ask again" in Claude Code, the tool saves the command verbatim in .claude/settings.local.json, including passwords or API keys. Apiiro found real secrets in 1,122 of 104,185 public copies on GitHub, including 379 database passwords. Keep the file out of git, use variables for secrets, and replace any keys that have already leaked. source

November 2 2026Message threads (beta) fall outside Zero Data Retention

With message threads in the Claude API, Anthropic stores the conversation, the system prompt and the tools on the server, encrypted in memory and not on disk, until up to one hour after the last use. The feature does not qualify for Zero Data Retention; your other ZDR agreements still apply. If you work with personal data under ZDR, only enable threads if your DPIA covers it. source

26 October 2026Swedish government office blocks the browser version on work computers

From 26 October, the Swedish government office blocks ChatGPT and Claude on work computers because there is no formal contract and there are information security risks; Microsoft Copilot remains permitted. Business use therefore requires a contract with data processing terms. source

Questions

How safe is Veras for interior design?
Veras publishes limited privacy safeguards. Ask the provider for clarification before you put confidential interior design data into it. Limited or partly unknown safeguards: check with the provider.
Does Veras train on my data?
Contracting party in the EU (Chaos Software GmbH, Germany; in the US Chaos Software, Inc.). Processing on servers in the US (AWS or Azure), AES-256 and TLS 1.2. According to the Responsible AI page, only camera view and geometry go to the cloud and your data is not used for training; the EULA leaves that option open for later. You can switch off anonymous collection of images and prompts. Uses Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro) among others and lists Opus 5.5 among the available models.
What should I watch out for with AI in interior design?
Client room photos are often personal data: they show the home and sometimes people, addresses or personal belongings. Check what happens to uploads in each tool. Coohom may use your uploads and outputs for model training without opt-out under its terms, RaumKI and Planner 5D use (anonymised) data for their own models, Gendo does so on the free plan and ReimagineHome only for its own models with opt-out. Archicad AI Visualizer and Veras say they do not use your data for training, RoomSketcher only with your permission. Many tools process images in the US or Asia (Coohom and Homestyler mention China). For client photos, obtain consent, remove identifiable details and choose a tool with a data processing agreement for project data.
