Palantir provides the software but installs in your cloud or hardware. They rarely exfiltrate the data. So you don’t give Palantir anything (usually).

Edit: I can understand not wanting to use a non-UK company for NHS health. But Palantir isn’t the all seeing bogeyman it’s made out to be. It’s just knowledge graph and AI models which run in your cloud or hardware.

Your caveats of "rarely" and "usually" undermine the "anything" you use.

The edit is naive to an extent that makes one wonder if you are writing in good faith.

It depends on the contract with palantir. So in reality it depends on how NHS structured the contract and the infrastructure. That's the reason for rarely/usually.

I don't work for palantir or own their stock. There is really no reason for me to do anything in bad faith here.

We use Microsoft Windows, HP, Dell, AWS and Chinese made hardware... All foreign designed and built tech stack.

But for some reason Palantir is the bad one?
