Running a large language model locally does not guarantee that all associated data remains within a controlled environment. Sensitive data can still be exposed through components like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems, logs, backups, or administrative access points, even if the model itself executes on local hardware. Engineers and security teams must meticulously trace the entire data path, considering multiple layers of processing, storage, and access, rather than solely focusing on the model's execution location. This comprehensive approach is crucial for complying with regulations like GDPR and professional obligations, such as those outlined by the American Bar Association's Formal Opinion 512. AI
