Question on GDPR Compliance and User Information

Hi,

I have read some of the posts regarding GDPR but could not find an answer to my specific case. Imagine I create a studio/form/chatbot in Pickaxe where users share information or upload files. Since in the background I may be using certain LLMs (e.g., OpenAI), I would like to know if this processing is still fully covered under Pickaxe.ai GDPR compliance.

I understand that I can delete user information if needed, but to properly adapt to GDPR policy and inform my users correctly, I would appreciate your guidance on:

  • Whether user data shared in Pickaxe and processed through OpenAI remains under Pickaxe’s GDPR compliance.

  • What exact information I should communicate to my users regarding data flow, storage, and deletion.

Thank you for clarifying this point.

Hi @nimarafati,

The simple short answer is: yes!

Alongside Pickaxe’s GDPR compliance, please review the model provider’s terms, since using those models on Pickaxe means you agree to their policies. For a quick overview of provider commitments, see section 17 “Model Training” in our Terms of service | Pickaxe .

I will share additional resources to help you better understand our compliance.

Here is a quick Data Privacy Q&A video by our CEO:

For UK users to be able to share data with a US based organisation, they need to be registered on the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (as far as I can tell).

Is there a list, please, of Pickaxe’s processors/subprocessors so we can check that they are ‘safe’ under UK GDPR?
