## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** Yes

**Overall assessment of hosting & data: **

Connect AI is a Swiss B2B provider of AI assistants, chatbots, Employee GPT, Sales Agents, Event Agents, and customer service automation. Connect AI is particularly strong for organizations that need a secure, customized AI solution based on internal knowledge sources. Positive aspects include the Swiss/EU focus, Employee GPT hosting in Switzerland, the no-training statement for customer data, role-based permissions, private container environments, and the focus on sensitive industries. A critical point is that Connect AI does not offer standardized public self-service SaaS with a fully transparent plan matrix, but rather customized implementations; therefore, hosting, model providers, subprocessors, AVV/DPA, and specific integrations must be clarified for each project. 


**Conclusion:** 

Connect AI is particularly suitable for Swiss SMEs, fiduciaries, financial service providers, healthcare organizations, legal environments, telcos, and service teams that want to use AI productively without losing data control and confidentiality. For the highest level of compliance, Employee GPT or an explicitly Switzerland-hosted configuration should be chosen and documented contractually.


[Privacy Policy](https://connect.lime-technologies.com/de/legal/privacy-policy/)

**GDPR assessment: **From a data protection perspective, Connect AI is well suited to very well suited, especially for Swiss and European companies with high requirements for data sovereignty. 


**Positive** is that Connect AI Group GmbH is based in Zurich, Switzerland, and in its privacy policy describes processing in accordance with applicable Swiss and European data protection requirements, including reference to GDPR/DSGVO. For Employee GPT, Connect AI highlights particularly strong data protection features: models hosted in Switzerland, no data transfer abroad, no sharing of data with third parties, no use of customer data for model training, role-based access rights, private container environments, and hosting with FINMA-certified partners such as Swisscom. In addition, according to the Employee GPT page, customers retain ownership of data, knowledge bases, and chat logs. 


**Negative **is that the general privacy policy also mentions Google Cloud and HubSpot; electronic customer data is described there as being stored with Google Cloud, and HubSpot may store data, among other places, in the USA. In addition, the terms and conditions state that Connect AI may use third parties/subcontractors and that, unless otherwise agreed, the agents are operated using OpenAI technology via Microsoft Azure. For a robust GDPR/FADP assessment, the AVV/DPA, subprocessors, specifically selected hosting, model providers, deletion periods, and data flows should therefore be contractually reviewed for each project. 


**Server location: **For Employee GPT, according to the provider, Switzerland; in general, the privacy policy mentions physical data in Switzerland & Europe as well as electronic data with Google Cloud.
