LLM hosting a German Datenschutzbeauftragter can sign off on.
Dedicated single-tenant infrastructure in EU-Central, operated by an EU entity with no US parent in the chain, and the paperwork your data protection officer will ask for before anyone touches production data.
Not legal advice. This page describes GPUwerk's infrastructure, corporate structure, and contractual commitments. Whether it satisfies your specific obligations under German or EU data protection law is a question for your own Datenschutzbeauftragter or legal counsel, not for this website.
What a German buyer actually checks first
Before a pilot gets past IT, someone in Germany usually wants three things confirmed.
Where does the data sit?
On a dedicated machine in EU-Central, in the Czech Republic. It's not a region toggle in a US console; it's a specific rack, and the operating company is a Societas Europaea registered in Prague with no US parent.
Who is the vendor, legally?
PRINT IT! SE. Company details, including the address and the competent supervisory authority for GPUwerk's own processing, are published at /legal/imprint. This is a Czech entity, not a German one, so GPUwerk itself is not subject to oversight by a German Landesdatenschutzbehörde or the BfDI, the same way any other EU-Central vendor you'd work with wouldn't be.
Can procurement get the paperwork?
Yes. A standard Art. 28 GDPR data processing agreement is at /legal/dpa, and there are no sub-processors on instance workloads, listed at /legal/sub-processors. No certifications such as C5 or ISO 27001 are claimed; if a specific one is a hard requirement for you, ask before assuming it applies.
The general landscape, stated plainly
Germany doesn't have a single national data protection regulator. Oversight is split between the federal BfDI and sixteen state-level authorities (the Landesdatenschutzbehörden), and which one applies to your company depends on your sector, your state, and whether you're a public or private body. GPUwerk isn't in a position to tell you which one covers your organisation, and this page doesn't attempt to. What GPUwerk can state factually: the infrastructure runs in EU-Central under an EU entity, GDPR and the EU AI Act apply to processing done there the same way they apply anywhere else in the Union, and a standard Art. 28 DPA is available so your own DSB can run their normal review. Beyond that, the specifics of German implementing legislation (the BDSG) and how it interacts with your particular use case are for your own counsel to work through, not a hosting vendor's marketing page.

Questions we get from German buyers
Where is the hardware located?
EU-Central, in the Czech Republic, roughly a two-hour drive from the Bavarian border and well within the low-latency range most German offices see from any EU-Central provider.
Which authority is responsible for data protection oversight?
GPUwerk is operated by PRINT IT! SE, registered in Prague, so the competent Czech supervisory authority applies to GPUwerk directly. Your own company's processing is separately overseen by whichever German state authority (Landesdatenschutzbehörde) or the BfDI has jurisdiction over you, depending on your sector and state. That's a question for your own Datenschutzbeauftragter, not something GPUwerk can answer on your behalf.
Is a DPA available under Art. 28 GDPR?
Yes, published at /legal/dpa at no charge. There are no sub-processors for instance workloads, listed at /legal/sub-processors.
Is this legal advice?
No. This page describes GPUwerk's infrastructure and corporate structure. Whether it satisfies your specific compliance obligations is a question for your own Datenschutzbeauftragter or legal counsel.
