**Updates and Support** Optional maintenance, update, and support services for PC software after the first year of licensing.

## DSGVO und Datenschutz
**Gesamteinschätzung:** Conditional

**Overall assessment:**
****
A hybrid of local PC software and Australian cloud-based SaaS. ELEK offers both cloud-based and natively installed Windows/PC products. For PC products, project data remains within the customer’s IT infrastructure in accordance with the security policy. Cloud-based data is stored on AWS in Sydney; redundancy is provided within the same AWS region.


**AI processing: **ELEK AI is embedded in the respective calculation programs. The AI interprets inputs and automates work steps, while the actual calculations are performed using deterministic engineering algorithms and stored standards. The current high-voltage function can, among other things, extract parameters from PDF data sheets and create cable models.



**Products: **The portfolio includes Cable Pro Web, Cable High Voltage, SafeGrid Earthing, Cable Pulling, Protection Coordination, Line Rate, and the ELEK Power Bundle. Cable Pro Web is cloud-based; several other applications are PC-based.



**Access and Security:** ELEK cites role-based AWS IAM permissions, 2FA for employees, regular security audits, incident response, disaster recovery, and restricted access to customer data. According to the company’s own description, customer data is generally treated as a “black box.”



**Conclusion:

**ELEK AI is strong for professional calculations, especially when local PC products are used. Cable Pro Web and other online features must be reviewed separately from an EU perspective due to the Australian AWS location.

**Overall Assessment:**
****
**A positive** **aspect** is that ELEK has published a globally applicable privacy policy that explicitly addresses the GDPR, Australian Privacy Principles, and other international regulations. The company designates a data protection contact, a DPO, and an EU contact person. Third-party providers are required to enter into Data Processing Agreements.


For ELEK AI, the provider explicitly states that third-party AI services are not permitted to use project data for model training. Project inputs and calculation results must remain within the controlled ELEK software environment.



**A negative** **aspect** is that ELEK Software is based in Sydney, Australia, and uses third-party providers outside of Australia and the EEA. According to the Security Policy, the primary cloud location is at AWS in Sydney. No EU data residency is specified. ELEK merely states that it adheres to ISO/IEC 27001 principles; this does not constitute proof of ISO 27001 certification.


**Deletion: **Users can modify, export, or delete data. Following a request to close an account, cloud user data is to be deleted within 90 days.


DPA: According to its own policy, ELEK requires DPAs from its service providers. No public DPA for customers was found: No verified information available.



**Conclusion: **For EU companies, local PC software is more privacy-friendly than Cable Pro Web or other cloud features. When using cloud and AI services, international data transfers, data processing agreements, AWS regions, and retention periods should be documented.
