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

**Overall assessment: **

Tencent Cloud-based API/SaaS offering with an international cloud structure, but not universally EU-compliant. According to the official product overview, Tencent HY is a multimodal model family developed by Tencent for text, image, 3D, and other modalities; the international documentation mentions, among other things, Hunyuan-Translation and Tencent HY 3D Global. Hosting model: Tencent Cloud SaaS/API via international Tencent Cloud endpoints; a classic on-prem or self-hosting option for Hunyuan as a standard offering is not confirmed in the reviewed official sources. Data processing: API calls can use streaming or non-streaming; billing is token-based. The AI Service Terms allow the processing, storage, and use of input/output for the provision, improvement, development, and model training, unless an opt-out has been activated. In addition, User Input and AI Output may be shared with service providers, affiliates, authorized third parties, and third-party AI providers where necessary for service provision or required by law. Retention and deletion depend on the service and contract; no confirmed information is available on uniform zero-retention for Hunyuan.


**Conclusion: **

Suitable for international cloud/API projects, but for personal, confidential, or regulated data only with strict review of contracts, region settings, training opt-out, and data transfers. Sources: Tencent HY Product Overview, Billing Overview, Privacy Policy, and AI Service Terms.


[Privacy Policy](https://www.tencentcloud.com/document/product/301/17345)

**Overall assessment:** Conditionally to critically GDPR-suitable. For the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, Tencent Cloud designates Tencent Cloud Europe B.V. in Amsterdam as the Data Controller for administrative data and states that customer data or content is generally processed as a processor within the scope of the services. 


**Positive **is that Tencent Cloud references a Data Processing and Security Addendum structure in the Privacy Policy, distinguishes roles between Controller and Processor, and offers formal contractual documentation for enterprise/cloud use. 


**Negative **is that Tencent Cloud states in the Privacy Policy that servers may be located outside the user's country, for example in Mainland China. In addition, the AI Service Terms allow Tencent Cloud to use User Input and AI Output for the provision, support, improvement, development, and training of AI Models, unless an opt-out is made in the respective AI function. According to the AI Terms, sensitive personal data and specially regulated data must not be entered into AI Services unless this has been expressly agreed in writing and configured accordingly. 


**Server location: **depending on the Tencent Cloud service and configuration; the official Privacy Policy mentions possible processing outside the user's country, including Mainland China. For GDPR-critical use, Tencent Hunyuan is therefore only recommended with a DPA, region/transfer review, training opt-out, subprocessor review, and exclusion of sensitive data.
