3 Things to Check Before Choosing an LLM Vendor (GDPR) #ai #llm

Does GDPR require your LLM data to stay in the EU? No. GDPR doesn’t require personal data to stay in the EU, but you can only transfer it outside the EU with a valid mechanism, such as an adequacy decision or standard contractual clauses. Many European enterprises keep data in the EU anyway, partly because of the Schrems II ruling and partly because of ongoing uncertainty around the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

With LLMs, residency gets harder. It’s not only where you store data. It’s where inference runs and where prompts, sessions, and logs end up afterward. Personal data can sit in model weights, logs, inference-time context, and your own stores like RAG indexes and caches.

Before you choose a vendor, check three things: training opt-outs, retention windows, and subprocessors with their regions.
