Is Copy.ai GDPR-safe?

Doubtful for personal data

Copy.ai is controlled from a country outside the EU and lacks confirmed EU data storage: processing effectively takes place in a third country. That makes the tool unsuitable for sensitive personal data without additional safeguards. For non-personal data (drafts, public material) it is usually fine.

How to use it more safely

  1. Sign a data processing agreement (DPA) if personal data is processed.
  2. Never enter national IDs or sensitive data, especially here where data leaves the EU.
  3. Check the vendor's sub-processors: AI features often forward data.
  4. Read our GDPR guide for small businesses for the full picture.
