# Tesla ## Kurzbeschreibung **Optimus** is Tesla’s humanoid robotics platform designed for physical tasks in factories and, in the future, in homes. Tesla is developing software for balance, navigation, perception, and physical interaction. The robot is not currently available for purchase by the general public. ## Claim general-purpose, bipedal, autonomous humanoid robot ## Geeignet für - Automation / Workflows - Marketing & Advertising - Presentations ## Kernfunktionen - Autonomous Navigation - Embodied AI - Home robots - Humanoid robots - Industrial robots - Robotic Learning - Robotic Manipulation ## DSGVO und Datenschutz **Gesamteinschätzung:** unklar / nicht verfügbar **On-Prem / local hosting: unclear** Not specified on the website. No on-prem, local, or self-hostable deployment option is described for Tesla AI/Optimus. **Private cloud / data center: unclear** Not specified on the website. There is no concrete statement regarding dedicated or segregated customer environments, private clouds, or EU/EEA data centers for this offering. **EU SaaS / managed: unclear** Not specified on the website. While general EEA privacy notices exist, there is no statement that Tesla AI/Optimus is offered as an EU-hosted managed service with EU data residency. **Hybrid: unclear** Not specified on the website. No hybrid operating model combining local and external processing is described for this offering. **DPA / DPA: indirect / not available** No DPA/AVV for customers was found on the website. There are only general privacy notices and general contractual/terms-of-use documents, but no clearly designated data processing agreement for this tool. **No training: partial** Tesla describes general control options for certain data sharing and opt-out options for individual data processing activities or types of communication. However, the website does not specify a clear, tool-specific, and contractually guaranteed exclusion stating that prompts, uploads, or outputs of the AI/Optimus offering are not used to train general models. **Open source / transparency path: partial** There is a general open-source section on the Tesla website with sources for various vehicle systems and self-driving/infotainment components. However, a specific open-source, export, or sovereignty path specifically for Tesla AI/Optimus is not specified on the website. **Data processing** The Tesla AI/Optimus website describes the offering in terms of content, but not its hosting or data processing architecture. The general privacy policy mentions international data transfers, service providers for hosting, data analytics, storage, IT infrastructure, and language processing, as well as EEA-specific standard contractual clauses. However, details are missing for the specific tool regarding server locations, EU data residency, subprocessors lists, and contractual processing paths. **Conclusion** For a German-language tool directory focused on the entire EU/EEA region, the website basis for Tesla AI/Optimus is currently too thin to provide a reliable positive GDPR/hosting assessment. Positive aspects include the general privacy policy, EEA relevance via Tesla International B.V., and the reference to standard contractual clauses. However, crucial tool-specific evidence is missing regarding DPA/AVV, EU data centers, EU data residency, subprocessors, certifications, and self-hosting. Therefore, overall **unclear**. **Sources** - [https://www.tesla.com/AI](https://www.tesla.com/AI) - [https://www.tesla.com/legal/privacy](https://www.tesla.com/legal/privacy) - [https://www.tesla.com/legal](https://www.tesla.com/legal) - [https://www.tesla.com/legal/additional-resources](https://www.tesla.com/legal/additional-resources) From the perspective of the EU/EEA region, no reliable GDPR compliance can be demonstrated for the AI/robotics offering presented at https://www.tesla.com/AI. Tesla's website does provide a general privacy policy and notices for the EEA/UK/Switzerland, including a controller in the Netherlands and standard contractual clauses for international transfers. However, for the specific AI/Optimus offering, the website contains no specific information on EU data residency, server/data center locations, DPA/AVV, subprocessors, self-hosting, or a clear exclusion of training with user content. Therefore, the documentation is too incomplete for an EU/EEA-wide compliance assessment. **Positive** General privacy notices are available. For individuals in the EEA/UK/Switzerland, Tesla designates Tesla International B.V. in the Netherlands as the controller and refers to standard contractual clauses for international data transfers. Tesla also names privacy rights and options for controlling certain data sharing. **Negative** For the specific tool or the AI/Optimus page, the website provides no specific information on EU/EEA hosting, data center locations, DPA/AVV, subprocessors, certifications, on-prem/self-hosting, or a contractually clear no-training path. The privacy notices also explicitly refer to possible transfers to the USA and other countries. **Server location** Not specified on the website. The general privacy policy only states that information may be transferred to Tesla in the USA and to other countries; specific server or data center locations for the AI/Optimus offering are not mentioned. ## Hosting und Daten - **On-Prem / lokales Hosting:** unknown - **Private Cloud / Rechenzentrum:** unknown - **EU SaaS / Managed:** unknown - **Hybrid:** unknown - **AVV / DPA:** unknown - **Kein Training auf Kundendaten:** teilweise / indirekt - **Open-Source / Transparenz-Pfad:** teilweise / indirekt ## Standort **Land:** USA **Taxonomie:** USA Tesla, Inc., 1 Tesla Road, Austin, Texas 78725, USA.
