An EU-owned alternative to hosting your data with a US company's EU subsidiary.
Dedicated single-tenant infrastructure in EU-Central, operated by PRINT IT! SE, a Czech entity with no US parent anywhere in the ownership chain, and the paperwork your legal or compliance team will ask for before production data touches it.
Not legal advice. This page describes GPUwerk's infrastructure, corporate structure, and contractual commitments. Whether it satisfies your specific obligations under Irish or EU data protection law is a question for your own legal counsel, not for this website.
A different kind of EU hosting
Many large US technology companies run their EU operations out of Ireland, and for a lot of buyers, "hosted in the EU" ends up meaning "hosted by the Irish subsidiary of a US parent company." That's a legitimate setup, and GPUwerk isn't here to argue it's non-compliant, it's a question those vendors' own DPAs and legal teams answer directly. But it's not the only option. GPUwerk is operated by PRINT IT! SE, a Societas Europaea registered in Prague, with no US parent, no US-incorporated entity anywhere in the ownership chain, and no US region your data could be routed through. If keeping data and vendor ownership entirely inside the EU, without a US parent company in the picture, matters to your organisation, that's the structural difference worth checking.
What an Irish buyer actually checks first
Before a pilot clears procurement, someone usually wants three things confirmed.
Where does the data sit?
On a dedicated machine in EU-Central, in the Czech Republic. Not a region toggle in a US console, a specific rack, run by a Societas Europaea registered in Prague with no US parent anywhere in its ownership.
Who is the vendor, legally?
PRINT IT! SE. Company details, including the registered address and the competent supervisory authority for GPUwerk's own processing, are published at /legal/imprint. It's a Czech entity, so GPUwerk itself sits outside the DPC's jurisdiction, the same way any other EU-Central provider you'd shortlist would.
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 ISO 27001 are claimed; if one is a hard requirement for you, ask before assuming it applies.
The general landscape, stated plainly
Ireland's national data protection authority is the Data Protection Commission (DPC), which also acts as lead supervisory authority under GDPR for a large share of the world's major tech platforms because those companies' EU headquarters sit in Dublin. GPUwerk isn't in a position to tell you how the DPC's guidance applies to your specific use case, and this page doesn't attempt to. What can be stated as fact: 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 in the Union, and a standard Art. 28 DPA is available so your own legal team can run its usual review. Whether the DPC or another authority has jurisdiction over your own company's processing depends on where your main establishment sits, which is for your own counsel to determine, not a hosting vendor's marketing page.

Questions we get from Irish buyers
Where is the hardware located?
EU-Central, in the Czech Republic, connected to Ireland over the same EU internet backbone as any other EU data centre.
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, not the DPC. Your own company's processing is separately overseen by the Data Protection Commission, if Ireland is your main establishment under GDPR, or another authority otherwise. That's a question for your own legal or compliance team, 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 legal counsel.
