GDPR-Compliant AI Tools for Sales: What You Need to Know

The use of AI tools in sales is booming — but what about data privacy? Especially in the DACH region, GDPR compliance isn't a nice-to-have, it's a must.

The most important criterion: Where is your data processed? Many US tools send data to servers in the US — a GDPR risk since the Schrems II ruling. SpeakToMyCRM uses 100% EU hosting with Hetzner in Germany.

Most AI tools use OpenAI (GPT-4) — a US company. Data leaves the EU. SpeakToMyCRM uses Mistral AI, a European AI from France.

When choosing AI tools for sales, GDPR compliance should be at the top of your checklist. SpeakToMyCRM was built from the ground up with EU-first principles.
