# Chat GPT ## Kurzbeschreibung **ChatGPT** is OpenAI's multimodal AI application for text, research, data analysis, coding, image generation, voice, and knowledge-based work. Its current feature set includes, among other things, Search, Deep Research, Data Analysis, Projects, Custom GPTs, Codex, Images, Voice Mode, and, additionally for Business/Enterprise, Apps and Company Knowledge. This makes ChatGPT today more of a broad work platform than just a chatbot. ## Claim ChatGPT is your AI chatbot for everyday use ## Geeignet für - API Integration - Audio / Voice - Images - Education - Data Analysis - Data Extraction / Document Analysis - Email / Communication - Customer Service & Chatbots - Marketing & Advertising - Presentations - Productivity & Planning - Programming / Software Development - Project Management - Research - Writing & Editing - SEO / GEO Optimization - Texts / Content - Translations - Knowledge Management / Internal Search ## Kernfunktionen - Image generation - Business Plan - Chatbot - Data Analysis - Document analysis - Function calls - AI agents - Multimodal AI - Tutoring - Programming - Reasoning model - Research - Voice assistant - Language model - Spreadsheet - Text generation - Translation - Summary ## Preismodell - **free:** **Free **offers, according to the official pricing/FAQ documentation, limited access to GPT-5.3, messages/uploads, image generation, Deep Research, Memory, and Codex; in addition, web search, file uploads, data analysis, and GPT usage are generally available, but limited. - **subscription:** **Go** Expanded individual plan compared to Free; more access to GPT-5.3, more messages, more uploads, more image generation, and a longer memory function. According to OpenAI, it may contain ads. **Plus** Individual plan for advanced use; includes, among other things, GPT-5.5 Thinking, expanded messages/uploads, better image generation, enhanced Deep Research and Agent Mode, Projects, Tasks, Custom GPTs, and expanded Codex access. **Pro** Powerful individual plan for maximum productivity; includes more usage, GPT-5.5 Pro, maximum Codex tasks, unlimited GPT-5.3 and file uploads, faster image generation, maximum Deep Research and Agent Mode, as well as larger memory/context functions. - **other:** **Business Codex** Usage-based team model for development-oriented teams; focus on AI-supported software development, code and security reviews, automation, cloud environments, admin controls, SAML/MFA, and no training on customer data. **Business ChatGPT & Codex** Team plan for startups and growing companies; includes Plus and Business Codex features, unlimited core chat, apps/connectors such as Slack, Google Drive, SharePoint, GitHub, and Atlassian, data analysis, Record Mode, Canvas, shared projects, workspace GPTs, admin and security features. **Enterprise** Custom enterprise model for large organizations; includes an expanded context window, enterprise security features such as SCIM, EKM, role-based controls, domain verification, data residency in multiple regions, 24/7 priority support, SLAs, custom contract terms, and no use of business data for training by default. **ChatGPT Edu / Higher Education** Education plan for higher education institutions; offers expanded access to GPT-5, tools for data analysis, web browsing, file integrations, document summarization, and custom GPTs for campus workspaces. ## DSGVO und Datenschutz **Gesamteinschätzung:** Conditional **On-prem / local hosting: indirect / not available** No on-premises, local, or self-hostable deployment option for ChatGPT was found on the ChatGPT website; not specified on the website. **Private Cloud / Data Center: Partially** The Business plan mentions “a secure, dedicated workspace,” and the Enterprise plan mentions “enterprise-level security and controls.” However, the ChatGPT website does not specifically describe a dedicated German or European private cloud or data center option. **EU SaaS / Managed: Partially** The Enterprise plan lists EU data residency on the pricing page, and the Enterprise page mentions “data residency options.” For the Business plan, data residency is marked as “No” on the pricing page; it is also not available for Free, Go, Plus, or Pro. **Hybrid: unclear** The ChatGPT website does not describe a clear hybrid operating model in which some parts run on a local/private cloud and others as a managed service; this is not specified on the website. **DPA: Partially** The Business page includes the note “Review our Data Processing Addendum.” This suggests that a DPA is available. However, the scope, availability for all plans, and specific binding nature of the agreement are not further elaborated on the ChatGPT website itself, even on the pages found. **No Training: Partially** The Business and Enterprise plans state that company data is not used for training by default. However, for the Free/Go/Plus/Pro plans, the pricing page states, “Content is used to train our models,” with “Opt-out available.” Thus, this criterion is not met across all deployment types. **Open Source / Transparency Path: Indirect / Not Available** No open-source components, open models, or self-hostable parts for ChatGPT were found on the ChatGPT website. A transparency/open-source path is not specified on the website. **Data Processing** The documentation found on the ChatGPT website primarily describes ChatGPT as a cloud service operated by the provider. For Business, it mentions a “secure, dedicated workspace,” encryption at rest and in transit, SAML SSO/MFA, and a linked DPA. For Enterprise, additional features include advanced admin controls, custom data retention, and data residency in multiple regions, including the EU. For end-user plans, model training is generally included according to the pricing model, though users can opt out. **Conclusion** Based on the information found on chatgpt.com, ChatGPT cannot be generally classified as fully GDPR-compliant in its standard version for a German tool directory. The most viable option appears to be using the Business or, in particular, the Enterprise plan, as these specify “no training” for corporate data, DPA notices, and, for the Enterprise plan, EU data residency. Since specific server locations, subprocessors, and on-premises/self-hosting options are not listed on the ChatGPT website, and EU data residency is only specified for the Enterprise plan, the overall rating is “conditional.” **Sources** - [https://chatgpt.com/business/business-plan/](https://chatgpt.com/business/business-plan/) - [https://chatgpt.com/business/enterprise/](https://chatgpt.com/business/enterprise/) - [https://chatgpt.com/pricing/](https://chatgpt.com/pricing/) - [https://chatgpt.com/pricing/?client_id=1325475363.1775347202&session_id=1775347202](https://chatgpt.com/pricing/?client_id=1325475363.1775347202&session_id=1775347202) The ChatGPT website includes several privacy-related commitments for Business and Enterprise use, including “no training on your business data by default,” references to GDPR support, a linked Data Processing Addendum for Business, and data residency in the EU for Enterprise. For the standard SaaS plans (Free/Go/Plus/Pro), however, the pricing page states that “opt-out is available” for model training and does not specify EU data residency. Therefore, GDPR-compliant use appears realistic only under certain conditions—particularly with the Business and Enterprise plans, and in some cases only with Enterprise features such as EU data residency. **Positive** The following points mentioned on the website are positive: Business and Enterprise specify “no training” for corporate data by default; Business refers to a Data Processing Addendum; Enterprise mentions support for GDPR compliance as well as data residency options, and relevant certifications and standards such as SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018, and 27701 are listed. **Negative** A negative or limiting aspect is that the ChatGPT website explicitly states for the general end-user plans—Free, Go, Plus, and Pro—that content may be used for model training, though with an “opt-out available” option. Furthermore, the website does not specify a specific server location or data center for standard use. EU data residency is listed on the pricing page only for the Enterprise plan; for the Business plan, it is marked as “No.” Subprocessors and detailed server locations are not specified on the ChatGPT domain website evaluated here. **Server Location** No specific server or data center location is listed on the website. On the pricing page, only “Data residency in US, EU, UK, JP, CA, KR, SG, IN, AU, UAE” is listed for the Enterprise plan; for the Business plan and end-user plans, no data residency in the EU is available there. ## Hosting und Daten - **On-Prem / lokales Hosting:** unknown - **Private Cloud / Rechenzentrum:** teilweise / indirekt - **EU SaaS / Managed:** teilweise / indirekt - **Hybrid:** unknown - **AVV / DPA:** teilweise / indirekt - **Kein Training auf Kundendaten:** teilweise / indirekt - **Open-Source / Transparenz-Pfad:** unknown ## Standort **Land:** USA **Taxonomie:** USA OpenAI OpCo, LLC, 1455 3rd Street, San Francisco, CA 94158, USA ## Vorteile - Very broad range of functions in one product: writing, research, analysis, coding, images, voice. - Search and Deep Research with sources make up-to-date research possible directly in ChatGPT. - Codex also makes ChatGPT seriously relevant for software development. - Data Analysis can analyze structured files and generate tables/charts. - For Business/Enterprise, there are workspace, admin, SSO, SCIM, company knowledge, and privacy features. ## Nachteile - For Individual plans, content may by default be used for model improvement unless users actively opt out. - The level of data protection and governance differs significantly between Consumer and Business/Enterprise. - The pricing model has meanwhile become considerably more complex, with multiple Personal, Business, Enterprise, Edu, Credit, and Codex options. - Some features depend on the plan or platform; for example, Record Mode is currently only available in the macOS app. ## Quellen - Offizielle Website: https://chatgpt.com/ ## Letzter Datenstand 2026-04-16 ## Originalseite https://kifox.ai/en/ki-tools/chat-gpt-en/
