Zero Data Retention request path is too unclear and frustrating for small EU companies

This is rather funny — I wonder how many EU citizens are using this for their own personal data?

While companies are trying to navigate ZDR, EU-only storage, and compliance, individuals are likely pasting the same kind of data in themselves without a second thought.

It feels a bit like everyone is being told they have a problem — and they’re buying it hook, line and sinker.

Meanwhile, individuals behave one way, and systems are built for another.

There are real issues, but the gap between perceived risk and actual behaviour is hard to ignore.

For my part I don’t really care if the “evil empire” has all my data… they can choke on it…

The eyes in the sky don’t discriminate from any country including China and Russia…

If they wanted to know they’d know…. World leaders can’t escape them…

I do understand there are problems, but I also understand there are problems…

The world is simply better if we work the problems out.

It ensures you are GDPR and EU Act compliant. No sensitive PII data and secrets should leave your network and be used in training the AI

Hey Felix,

I don’t know Nonym myself, but when you say this “ensures” that no sensitive PII or secrets leave your network, I wonder how it achieves that in practice.

It seems likely to me that it cannot be 100% determinate — just as the LLM itself isn’t.

If it’s rule-based, it will miss edge cases.
If it’s model-based, it’s inherently probabilistic.

So it feels more like risk reduction than a guarantee.

I’d be interested to understand where that line is drawn in reality.

This may also be of interest in the broader scope
