LLMs don't actually store any of their training data, though. And any data being held in context is easily accessible and can be wiped or edited to remove personal data as necessary.

Data protection law covers all kinds of data processing.

For example, input is processing, too. Output is processing, too. Section 4 of the GDPR.

If you really want to rely on excuses, you would need wayyy better ones.

Right, so keep personal data out of the training set and use it only in the easily readable and editable context. It'll still "hallucinate" details about people if you ask it for details about people, but those people are fictitious.
