What is GDPR compliance for AI?
GDPR compliance for AI means ensuring that personal data of EU residents is processed lawfully, transparently, and securely when using AI tools. Every prompt containing personal data is a data processing activity that GDPR governs.
GDPR Requirements
How GDPR applies to AI usage

Data minimization
Only include the minimum necessary personal data in AI prompts — DLP scanning enforces this automatically.
Cross-border transfers
Ensure personal data sent to AI providers does not violate GDPR restrictions on international data transfers.
Data subject rights
Support rights to access, deletion, and portability for personal data processed through AI systems.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is sending personal data to ChatGPT a GDPR violation?
It depends on your legal basis, data processing agreements, and safeguards. Without proper controls, sending EU personal data to AI tools may violate GDPR. DLP scanning helps prevent accidental personal data exposure.
How does TeamPrompt help with GDPR?
TeamPrompt's DLP scanning catches personal data before it reaches AI models, supporting data minimization. Access controls, audit logs, and usage tracking support transparency and accountability requirements.
Do I need a DPIA for AI tool usage?
If AI processing is likely to result in high risk to individuals — such as processing sensitive data at scale — a Data Protection Impact Assessment is required. TeamPrompt's governance features support DPIA documentation.
