Private LLM hosting for Albanian companies.
Dedicated NVIDIA DGX Spark hardware in EU-Central, run by a Czech company, for Albanian teams who want their inference workloads on EU infrastructure rather than a US API. This is a statement about where the hardware sits, not a claim about your GDPR status.
Not legal advice, and not a GDPR compliance claim. Albania is a candidate for EU membership, not a member state or an EEA country. GDPR does not apply to an Albanian company by default. This page describes where GPUwerk's hardware sits and who operates it; it does not tell you whether GDPR, Albania's own data protection law, or some other framework applies to your business. Confirm that with your own counsel before treating this as a compliance answer.
Why EU hosting matters even without a GDPR requirement
An Albanian software or outsourcing company selling into Italy or Greece often gets asked, informally or in a security questionnaire, where customer data and prompts are processed. "A dedicated server in the EU, run by an EU company" is a straightforward answer. "A US vendor's API, region unspecified" is a harder one to defend, even when nothing about it is actually non-compliant. GPUwerk is built for that first answer: a single-tenant DGX Spark node in EU-Central, running a model you choose, with prompts and outputs staying on hardware assigned to you.
Where does the data sit?
On a dedicated machine in EU-Central. Nothing routes through a US inference API.
Who operates it?
PRINT IT! SE, a Societas Europaea registered in Prague, Czech Republic. Company details at /legal/imprint.
Does Albania's own data protection law apply here?
Albania's Law on the Protection of Personal Data, overseen by the Information and Data Protection Commissioner, follows GDPR's structure closely. Whether and how it governs your use of an EU-based processor is a question for a lawyer familiar with Albanian law, not this page.
Candidate country, not a member: what that means here
Albania has held EU candidate status since 2014 and formally opened accession negotiations in 2022; as of this writing it remains a candidate, not a member, and EU data protection law does not bind it directly. If your company handles personal data belonging to EU residents, that data may fall under GDPR regardless of where your company is registered, but that is a fact-specific question (what data, whose, processed how) that this page cannot answer for you. If your company handles only domestic or regional data with no EU nexus, GDPR most likely doesn't apply to you at all, and the case for GPUwerk is purely practical: EU-based infrastructure, no US vendor in the loop, and a data processing agreement available if a client or partner asks for one.

Questions we get from Albanian buyers
Does GDPR apply to an Albanian company?
Not directly. Albania is an EU candidate country, not an EU or EEA member, so GDPR does not apply to an Albanian company by default. Albania has its own Law on the Protection of Personal Data, aligned with GDPR and overseen by the Information and Data Protection Commissioner. Whether GDPR applies to any specific processing you do depends on facts your own counsel should assess.
Why would an Albanian company use an EU-hosted LLM provider?
Two common reasons: EU clients or partners who ask where their data is processed, and a practical preference for EU-based infrastructure ahead of the country's own accession process. Neither is a GDPR compliance claim on GPUwerk's part; it's a statement about where the hardware physically sits.
Is a DPA available?
Yes, a standard Art. 28 GDPR-style data processing agreement is published at /legal/dpa. Whether it is the right instrument for an Albania-to-EU data flow is a question for your own counsel.
Is this legal advice?
No. This page describes GPUwerk's infrastructure and corporate structure only. It makes no claim about Albania's regulatory status or your compliance obligations.
