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

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

No on-premise, local, or self-hosting option was found on the website. The product is described as a web-based service.

**Private cloud / data center: unclear**

Dedicated hosting in a segregated private cloud environment or in explicitly named EU/EEA data centers was not stated on the website.

**EU SaaS / managed: unclear**

Suno does operate its own cloud service, but according to the privacy policy it generally names servers in the USA. EU data residency or EU/EEA SaaS operation was not stated on the website.

**Hybrid: indirect / not available**

A hybrid model with an internal/local part and an external Suno part was not described on the website.

**DPA / DPA: partial**

The privacy policy states that Suno acts as a data processor in certain customer scenarios and processes data in accordance with written agreements and instructions. However, a specifically accessible DPA/AVV or a self-service execution option was not stated on the website.

**No training: unclear**

A reliable 'no training' path was not found on the website. On the contrary, Suno states that it uses certain user activities, submissions, chat information, and other content to improve the services as well as to train and improve the models. An opt-out option from AI training was not stated on the website.

**Open source / transparency path: indirect / not available**

Open-source components, open models, documented self-hostable parts, or another transparency path were not stated on the website.

**Data processing**

The website describes Suno as a web-based service operated by Suno. According to the privacy policy, information is generally stored on servers in the USA; for EEA/UK users, transfer and processing in the USA take place for contract performance. Suno mentions rights for EEA residents and refers to 'appropriate safeguards' for further third-country transfers, without naming on the website found any specific EU data residency, specific data center locations in the EU/EEA, subprocessors, or a publicly accessible DPA/AVV. In addition, according to the website, Suno uses certain content and interaction data to improve and train its models.

**Conclusion**

For EU/EEA users, based on its own website Suno cannot be verified as clearly EU-resident or straightforwardly GDPR-compliant standard SaaS. Positive aspects are EEA rights and the note about processing as a data processor in certain contractual constellations. Due to US hosting/transfers, lack of EU data residency, lack of a publicly discoverable subprocessor list, and lack of a clear 'no training' path, its use can only be classified as **conditionally** acceptable from a GDPR perspective.

From the perspective of a user in the EU/EEA, GDPR-compliant use is only verifiable to a limited extent. A positive aspect is that Suno explicitly states rights for EEA residents in its privacy policy and explains that, in certain customer scenarios, it acts as a data processor on the basis of written agreements and instructions. A negative aspect, however, is that according to its own website, Suno generally stores personal data on servers in the USA and transfers data of EEA/UK users to the USA for the performance of the contract. In addition, according to Suno's privacy policy and terms of use, Suno uses submitted content to improve or train its services and models. A clearly findable DPA/AVV for standard customers, EU data residency, a list of subprocessors, or a self-hosting/on-premise option were not specified on the website.

**Positive**

The website contains a privacy policy with specific rights for EEA residents as well as the note that, in certain customer scenarios, Suno acts as a 'data processor' or 'service provider' and then processes data in accordance with written agreements and instructions.

**Negative**

Suno states that it generally stores information on servers in the USA and transfers data of EEA/UK users to the USA. Suno also explains that it uses certain user activities, inputs, and content to improve the services and to train or improve the models. A publicly findable DPA/AVV, EU data residency, a list of subprocessors, EU data centers, on-premise, or self-hosting were not specified on the website.

**Server location**

According to the privacy policy, Suno generally stores information on servers in the USA. According to the website, additional storage locations outside the USA may be used, but they are not specifically named. EU/EEA data centers or EU data residency are not specified on the website.
