GDPR and sovereignty: how your data stays in Europe with RagNight

L'équipe RagNight · 6 min read · May 02, 2026

AI agents managed by major US hyperscalers raise compliance issues that many CIOs prefer to ignore. Let's set things straight.

The "EU region" illusion

When a US vendor offers you an "EU region" endpoint, what flows through is technically hosted in Europe. But the legal entity remains American, and the Cloud Act applies. Your data remains accessible by US subpoena.

What this means for your agents

If your AI agent routes requests to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google — even through an EU region — your employee questions, internal documents, and customer data are potentially viewable by US authorities.

Our position

RagNight hosts your entire data layer on European providers (Scaleway, OVH). For LLM calls, we offer:

  • Sovereign mode: Mistral, Falcon, or Llama hosted in Europe only.
  • Standard mode: routing to OpenAI/Anthropic with EU contracting.
  • Hybrid mode: your validated data sovereign, complemented by a third-party LLM for generation.

Compliance as a product, not a constraint

You shouldn't have to choose between performance and sovereignty. RagNight makes this choice granular, by use case.
