Quick question for AI builders: how are you handling GDPR for European clients?
Hey everyone 👋 Question for those of you building AI chatbots for clients (or your own product): When you deploy a chatbot on a website, are you actually GDPR-compliant — or are you hoping nobody notices? I’m based in Austria, building AI automation solutions for European SMBs, and the #1 question I get asked isn’t “how smart is your bot?” — it’s: “Where is the data going? Who processes it? Do you have an AVV?” Most US-built chatbots fail this conversation immediately because: • No signed Data Processing Agreement (Art. 28 GDPR requirement) • Subprocessors (OpenAI, Pinecone, Vercel) not disclosed • No Datenschutzerklärung (privacy notice) in the local language • EU AI Act transparency requirements ignored (mandatory from August 2026) Curious — how are you handling this for European clients? Or are you avoiding the European market entirely because it feels too complicated? Happy to share what I’ve built (a 10-point GDPR transparency package) if anyone wants to dig in 🙌
