EU-Central hosting for Swiss companies, read this before anything else.
Dedicated single-tenant LLM infrastructure in the Czech Republic, operated by an EU entity with no US parent. Switzerland is not in the EU or EEA, and its own data protection law is not the same as GDPR. Confirm fit with your own counsel before you commit to anything.
Not legal advice, and this page especially should not be treated as such. Switzerland's regulatory position is materially different from an EU member state's. This page describes GPUwerk's infrastructure and corporate structure only. It does not attempt, and is not qualified, to assess whether hosting in EU-Central meets your obligations under Swiss law. That determination belongs entirely to your own legal counsel.
The one thing to get right first
Switzerland is not a member of the EU or the EEA. It has its own data protection statute, the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), which shares much of its structure with GDPR but is a separate legal regime with its own scope, definitions, and enforcement body, the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC). GDPR adequacy findings, cross-border transfer mechanisms, and how they interact with the FADP are genuinely nuanced questions, and the details change over time. GPUwerk is not going to summarise that analysis here, because doing it badly would be worse than not doing it. If moving data from a Swiss company into EU-Central raises a transfer question for you, that's the first thing to work through with your own lawyer, before anything below.
What GPUwerk can state as fact
Setting the legal analysis aside, here is what's actually true about the infrastructure.
Where the hardware sits
A dedicated single-tenant machine in EU-Central, in the Czech Republic, not a shared pool. Zurich to Prague is around 500 km by air, closer than many providers Swiss companies compare against outside Europe.
Who operates it
PRINT IT! SE, a Societas Europaea registered in Prague, with no US parent, no US region, and no US-incorporated entity in the chain. Full company details are at /legal/imprint.
What paperwork exists
A standard GDPR Art. 28 DPA, published at /legal/dpa at no charge, and no sub-processors for instance workloads, listed at /legal/sub-processors. It was written against GDPR, not the FADP specifically; whether it needs a Swiss-specific addendum for your case is a question for your counsel, and one we're glad to discuss once you've had that conversation.
For the compliance file
The facts to check against your own checklist, alongside your own legal review.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Operating entity | PRINT IT! SE, Societas Europaea, Altajská 1568/2, Vršovice, 100 00 Praha 10, Czech Republic |
| Where is data physically processed? | EU-Central, on a dedicated single-tenant machine assigned to you |
| Is EU-Central the same jurisdiction as Switzerland? | No. Switzerland is outside the EU/EEA; hosting there involves a cross-border question you should resolve with your own counsel. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure? | None. No US parent, no US region, no US-incorporated entity in the chain. |
| Pricing | $0.79/hour for a single DGX Spark, $1.79/hour for a two-node cluster (128GB unified memory each) |
| Who can access instance content? | Through the instance itself, only holders of your SSH keys; password login is disabled fleet-wide. GPUwerk keeps standard infrastructure administrator access, and under the DPA does not use it on your content except at your request for support or where a legal obligation requires it. |
| Sub-processors for the workload? | None, listed at /legal/sub-processors |
| DPA available? | A GDPR Art. 28 DPA at /legal/dpa, no charge. Not drafted for FADP specifically; confirm fit with counsel. |
| Certifications held | None claimed. Confirm directly if your process requires a specific one. |
Questions we get from Swiss buyers
Is Switzerland's data protection regime the same as the EU's?
No. Switzerland is not an EU or EEA member and has its own data protection law, the revised Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP), which runs alongside but is not identical to GDPR. Whether hosting in EU-Central is appropriate for a given Swiss company's data, and what if any cross-border transfer analysis applies, depends on specifics GPUwerk cannot assess on this page. Get advice from your own counsel before relying on anything here.
Where is the hardware located?
EU-Central, in the Czech Republic. The operating entity, PRINT IT! SE, is a Societas Europaea registered in Prague, with no US parent, no US region, and no US-incorporated entity in the chain.
Is a DPA available?
A standard GDPR Article 28 data processing agreement is published at /legal/dpa at no charge. Whether that document, on its own, meets what your organisation needs under Swiss law is something your own counsel should confirm; it was not drafted with the FADP specifically in mind.
Is this legal advice?
No, and this page should be read especially carefully on that point. It describes GPUwerk's infrastructure and corporate structure only. Any conclusion about Swiss regulatory fit is for your own lawyer to reach, not this website.
