Private LLM hosting for Ukrainian companies.
Dedicated NVIDIA DGX Spark hardware in EU-Central, run by a Czech company, for Ukrainian teams serving EU clients or who simply want their inference workloads on stable EU infrastructure rather than a domestic setup or a US API. Not a compliance claim: a statement about where the hardware sits.
Not legal advice, and not a GDPR compliance claim. Ukraine is not an EU or EEA member state, and GDPR does not apply to a Ukrainian company by default. This page is written for two specific, practical situations: a Ukrainian company that serves EU customers and wants to say its inference workloads run on EU infrastructure, and a Ukrainian company that wants EU-based hosting for reasons unrelated to any specific legal requirement. Neither situation is a GDPR compliance question we can answer for you; confirm your own obligations with your own counsel.
Why Ukrainian teams look at EU-hosted infrastructure
Two patterns come up often. The first is client-driven: a Ukrainian software or services company selling into Germany, Poland, or the Netherlands gets asked where its AI tooling processes customer data, and "a US vendor, region unspecified" is a harder answer to give than "a dedicated EU server." The second is operational: running production inference on infrastructure physically inside Ukraine carries risks, power and connectivity disruptions among them, that a business may prefer not to carry for a customer-facing service. GPUwerk offers a single-tenant DGX Spark node in EU-Central as an answer to both, without requiring you to route prompts through a third-party US inference API.
Where does the data sit?
On a dedicated machine in EU-Central. Nothing routes through a US inference API by default.
Who operates it?
PRINT IT! SE, a Societas Europaea registered in Prague, Czech Republic. Company details at /legal/imprint.
Does GDPR apply to my company?
Not automatically. It can apply where you process personal data tied to people in the EU, or where an EU group entity is in the picture. This is a fact-specific question for your own lawyer, not something this page can determine.
A practical choice, framed honestly
We're not going to claim GDPR coverage or EU-equivalent legal status for a Ukrainian company; that would be inaccurate and unhelpful to you if a client or auditor pushed back on it. What we can say plainly: the hardware is in the EU, the operating company is EU-registered and supervised by the Czech data protection authority, there is no US entity anywhere in the chain, and a standard data processing agreement is available if a client asks for one. If EU data residency or an EU-registered vendor is something your sales process needs to point to, those are facts you can point to directly. If your specific regulatory situation requires something more formal (a particular certification, a specific contractual clause, sign-off from your own DPO), raise that with us directly and we'll tell you plainly whether we can support it.

Questions we get from Ukrainian buyers
Does GDPR apply to a Ukrainian company?
Not directly. Ukraine is not an EU or EEA member, so GDPR does not automatically govern a Ukrainian company's processing. Ukraine has its own data protection law, and GDPR can still apply where you process personal data of people in the EU or operate as part of an EU-linked group. Whether that applies to you is a question for your own counsel.
Why host an LLM in the EU rather than Ukraine or elsewhere?
Common reasons include serving EU clients who expect EU data residency, working around infrastructure instability at home, and wanting a jurisdiction outside any single national government's discretionary access. This is a practical infrastructure decision, not a compliance certification.
Is a DPA available?
Yes, a standard Art. 28 GDPR-style data processing agreement is published at /legal/dpa. Whether it's the right instrument for your situation is a question for your own counsel.
Is this legal advice?
No. This page describes GPUwerk's infrastructure only and makes no claim about Ukraine's regulatory status or your compliance obligations.
