## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** No

**On-prem / local hosting: indirect / not available**

No on-premises, local, or self-hosted deployment of BasedLabs itself was found on the website. The API page only mentions cloud-based use via BasedLabs.

**Private Cloud / Data Center: Partially**

The Enterprise page mentions “custom AI workflows” and Enterprise offerings, as well as “SOC 2-compliant infrastructure,” but makes no explicit commitment to a dedicated private cloud, single-tenant environment, or EU data center.

**EU SaaS / Managed: unclear**

A managed SaaS service is clearly identifiable, but there is no documented EU/EEA data residency or EU data center. Therefore, there is no reliable evidence for EU/EEA hosting.

**Hybrid: unclear**

The website does not describe a hybrid model in which some components run on a local/private cloud and others as an external service.

**DPA: unclear**

No AVV/DPA, no DPA subpage, and no explicit option to enter into a data processing agreement were found on the website.

**No Training: Unclear**

The Privacy Policy lists purposes such as “Develop new tools,” but there is no clear statement that prompts, uploads, or outputs will not be used to train general models, and no documented opt-out for AI training.

**Open Source / Transparency Path: Partial**

The API page mentions “Run and fine-tune open-source models” and “Deploy custom models at scale.” This provides a certain degree of transparency, but does not demonstrate any open-source components of the platform itself nor self-hosting autonomy for BasedLabs as a whole.

**Data Processing**

BasedLabs appears to operate a centralized cloud/SaaS service for image, video, voice, and API usage. The Privacy Policy describes the processing of registration data, usage data, browser/log data, account content, communications, and data sharing with “service providers.” However, for EU/EEA users, there is a lack of reliable information regarding the country or data centers where this data is processed, whether EU data residency is possible, and which subprocessors are involved.

**Conclusion**

For a German-language tool directory with evaluations from an EU/EEA perspective, BasedLabs’ GDPR/hosting documentation is currently insufficient to demonstrate clear GDPR-compliant use. The best option apparent on the website is, at best, an enterprise setup with security features; however, even there, information particularly important for the EU/EEA—such as the AVV/DPA, EU data residency, subprocessors, and training exclusion—is missing. Therefore, the negative assessment prevails here.

Although the website contains a privacy policy that refers to GDPR rights for EU users, it does not demonstrate, from the perspective of the EU/EEA, that its use is fully or reliably GDPR-compliant. The website lacks specific information regarding EU/EEA data residency, server locations/data centers, a data processing agreement (DPA), a list of subprocessors, and a contractually guaranteed exclusion of training with user data. Additionally, the website lists BasedLabs AI, Inc. in Delaware, USA, with its principal place of business in San Diego, which typically leads EU/EEA users to expect cross-border data processing without the relevant safeguards being sufficiently documented on the website.

**Positive**

Positively noted are a publicly accessible privacy policy, explicit references to GDPR rights for EU users, a contact point for data protection inquiries, and an enterprise-level note regarding “SOC 2-compliant infrastructure” and encryption.

**Negative**

A major negative is that the website does not specify a concrete EU/EEA server location, does not guarantee EU data residency, no Data Processing Agreement (DPA) can be found, no subprocessors are disclosed, and no clear opt-out or contractual exclusion for AI training using user inputs, uploads, or outputs is documented. Furthermore, according to the Terms of Service, the platform is operated by a U.S. company.

**Server Location**

Not specified on the website. The Terms of Service only state that BasedLabs AI, Inc. is registered in Delaware, USA, and has its principal place of business in San Diego; specific server or data center locations or EU/EEA hosting are not mentioned.

## Vorteile

- API offering for developers as well as an enterprise offering with collaboration, analytics, and security promises.
- Very active product cycle according to the changelog.

## Nachteile
- Legal and compliance documentation appears inconsistent: official pages mention California, Delaware/San Diego, and Estonia.
- No publicly discoverable DPA/AVV page, no SCC information, no subprocessor list, no clear data residency notice.
- Placeholders/quality issues in legal texts and product pages, e.g. “outside Usway,” “DMCA notifications to: ADDRESS,” and Lorem ipsum blocks on the API page.
- The current pricing page says “No subscriptions,” while other official legal texts still refer to subscriptions and recurring transactions.
