Your prompts never train a model

Every prompt your application sends to a language model is a data processing event, and under the GDPR it comes with the usual questions: legal basis, processor identity, processing location, retention. GDPR-compliant AI hosting means being able to answer those questions in writing before your feature ships.

HostYourAI, a Dutch company from Groningen, is built to make those answers short. Open models run with vLLM on European GPUs, all inference stays in European datacenters, a Data Processing Agreement is available, the subprocessor list is public, and customer data is never used to train anything.

Why GDPR-compliant AI hosting in the EU

Processing stays inside the Union

Chapter V of the GDPR only becomes a problem when data leaves the EU. With inference in multiple European regions, there is no third-country transfer in the LLM step at all, so no standard contractual clauses and no transfer impact assessment for this processor.

A processor relationship you can document

Article 28 requires a contract with your processor. Here that is a DPA you can actually sign, backed by a public subprocessor list, so your privacy team can trace every party in the chain instead of relying on a vague trust page.

Procurement teams recognize the setup

EU-based provider, EU processing, encryption at rest and in transit, a 99.9% uptime SLA: these are the boxes procurement checklists in regulated sectors ask about. The same properties help you prepare for the EU AI Act, where knowing your providers and data flows is the starting point.

What to put in your DPIA when you add an LLM

If your use of an LLM is likely to touch personal data, extend your DPIA with the specifics of inference. Describe the flow: user input travels over TLS to the API, is processed in memory on European GPUs, and the completion returns to your application. Note that data at rest is protected with AES-256 and prompts are not used for training.

Then cover your own side: which fields you allow into prompts, whether you pseudonymize identifiers first, and how retrieval works if you attach a knowledge base, something the guide Build RAG on EU GPUs treats in detail. Sector context matters too; see the pages for healthcare, finance and government.

How to start

Technically, compliant hosting looks like any other OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Pick a model from the model catalog and point your client at it.

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  baseURL: "https://hostyourai.com/api/v1",
  apiKey: "hyai-...",
});

const res = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "gemma-3-12b",
  messages: [
    { role: "system", content: "Answer without repeating personal data from the input." },
    { role: "user", content: "Classify this customer email by department." },
  ],
});
console.log(res.choices[0].message.content);

Questions about GDPR-compliant AI hosting

Is HostYourAI a processor or a controller for my prompts?

A processor. You decide what goes into prompts and why; the platform processes them to produce completions, under the terms of the DPA.

Are prompts stored or used for training?

Customer data is never used for training. Prompts are processed to serve your request, and security measures include AES-256 at rest and TLS in transit.

Do I still need my own DPIA?

If your processing is likely high-risk under Article 35, yes. The platform gives you the facts to fill it in: EU-only processing, a signed DPA and a public subprocessor list, but the assessment of your use case remains yours.

Does this help with the EU AI Act too?

It helps you prepare. The AI Act asks deployers to understand their providers and data flows, and an EU-hosted open model with documented processing is far easier to account for than a closed foreign API.

Can regulated organizations use dedicated hardware?

Yes. Dedicated GPU instances run your model in isolation with an instance-specific encrypted API key, which many healthcare and government teams prefer over shared capacity.

Frequently asked questions

Can I run this in the EU?

Yes. HostYourAI runs open models on GPUs in European datacenters via vLLM. Your prompts and outputs never leave the EU and there is no US cloud provider in the chain.

Is it GDPR-compliant?

Yes. All processing happens inside the EU, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) is available and the subprocessor list is public. Open weights also mean no training on your data.

Is the API OpenAI-compatible?

Yes. Point your existing OpenAI or Anthropic client at our Router (https://hostyourai.com/api/v1), change only the base URL and API key. No rewrite, no lock-in.

What does it cost?
