Every byte you entrust to HeyDiane is stored and processed inside the European Union. No US cloud in the data path, and no compromise on capability: you still work with the newest, strongest language models, served from European infrastructure.
All business data: audio recordings, transcripts, summaries, chat. Database and application on Render (region Frankfurt), audio files in Cloudflare R2 with EU jurisdiction: storage and processing contractually restricted to the EU.
Summaries and assistant answers by Mistral AI (Paris) or Gemini on Google Vertex AI (europe-west4, Netherlands). Transcription with speaker detection on EU-pinned endpoints: Mistral Voxtral (Paris) or Google Speech-to-Text (EU multi-region, staging object deleted right after processing).
GPT models for summaries and assistant answers run on Azure OpenAI in Sweden Central, inside Microsoft's EU Data Boundary, which keeps processing and storage of customer data within the EU. Azure OpenAI does not use customer data to train models.
Transactional and inbound email via Resend (region eu-west-1). Billing and subscription management via Stripe Technology Company Ltd. (Ireland).
HeyDiane is operated by S&C Holding GmbH, an Austrian company. Your contract and your data are subject exclusively to EU law (GDPR).
Sign-in (email + password or Google) is implemented on our own EU infrastructure. Password hashes and account data live in our Frankfurt database, so no third-party identity provider stores your users. "Sign in with Google" is user-initiated and shares only your Google identity confirmation with us, nothing else.
Every provider is bound by a Data Processing Agreement under Art. 28 GDPR. This list is complete; new providers are added here before they process any data.

We only use enterprise API tiers, never consumer or free tiers, because the terms differ sharply between them. What each provider commits to:
In short: no provider trains on your content, and the short abuse-monitoring windows above are the honest exception to "nothing is retained". Zero-retention options exist at the enterprise tiers of these providers and are available on request for larger deployments.
Access and portability (Art. 15/20): every workspace can export its full archive as JSON from the settings page. Erasure (Art. 17): recordings and whole workspaces can be deleted in the product, effective immediately as described above. For anything else, rectification, objection, or questions, write to info@heydiane.ai; we answer within 30 days.
