GDPR (engineering-relevant basics)

Risk & governance

EU data protection regulation emphasizing lawful basis, data minimization, access/erasure rights, and DPIAs—relevant when AI features process personal data.

The GDPR is not an “IT checkbox.” Engineering choices—what you log, fine-tune on, retrieve into prompts, and retain in vector stores—can trigger obligations.
