    Classification

    Jurisdiction tier
    EU / EEA — EU member state or EEA (Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein) — GDPR applies directly.
    Note
    German provider (IONOS Cloud GmbH, Montabaur); IONOS states the service is hosted in Germany and 100% GDPR-compliant.
    Caveat
    This is infrastructure, not an end-user tool, and most models in the catalogue are US or Chinese open models. Contract with the German entity: the English-language site is sold by IONOS Cloud USA Inc.
    Compliance level
    Very high — Derived from the verified classification data on this site: Very high = EU/EEA jurisdiction + documented EU data residency + self-hostable option. High = EU/EEA + EU data residency. Medium = adequacy country + residency, or EU/EEA without documented residency. Each underlying claim carries its own source.
