Care to share an explanation or link about what panoramix is?

It's developed in France, so GDPR applies to everything, EU rules are not a second thought. A main contributor and supporter is IGN (National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information) a French government institution. https://www.ign.fr/institut/identity-card
