EU AI Act
Enforcement Aug 2, 2026Governance, transparency and risk obligations for AI systems used in the EU.
HelmcodeZero training on your data, EU-only processing and a traceable, auditable stack, compliant by architecture, before the deadline.
// security & compliance
Compliant by architecture,
not by policy.
Zero logs, EU-only processing, and nothing of yours ever trains a model. It's all part of how the platform is designed and built.
// zero logs
Your data passes through. It never stays.
A request enters one EU endpoint, is answered in memory, and the response streams back. Then it's gone, no prompt, no completion, nothing retained.
Processed · transient
- Your prompt, in memory, in the EU
- Model routing & inference
- The completion streamed back to you
Stored · for billing only
- API key metadata
- Aggregate request & token counts (for billing)
Never stored
- Prompts
- Completions
- Your documents or code
- Anything that trains a model
// regulatory coverage
The regulation, and how we meet it.
The frameworks that decide where European AI workloads can run, and what the architecture does about each one.
GDPR
In forcePersonal data of EU residents must be processed lawfully and kept in-region.
HelmcodeInference runs exclusively on EU infrastructure with zero logs. No prompt or completion is ever persisted.
DORA
Financial sector · in forceOperational resilience and third-party risk controls for EU financial entities.
HelmcodeDedicated and on-premise deployments with full isolation, contractual SLAs and an auditable supply chain.
US Cloud Act
Out of scopeCompels US-headquartered providers to hand over data, even when stored in an EU region.
HelmcodeHelmcode infrastructure is EU-owned and EU-operated, outside US jurisdiction. The Cloud Act does not reach it.
// the residency trap
An EU region isn't EU sovereignty.
A hyperscaler's EU-West region keeps your bytes in Europe, but the company operating it answers to US law. That's the gap GDPR cares about, and it's the whole reason Helmcode exists.
✕Operated by a US-headquartered company
✕Subject to the US Cloud Act, despite EU storage
✕Data can be compelled out of region
✓EU-owned and EU-operated infrastructure
✓Outside US jurisdiction, Cloud Act doesn't reach it
✓Processed in-region, with zero logs
// controls
How it's enforced.
Compliance you can point to, concrete controls built into the platform, not promises in a policy doc.
EU-only processing
Every request is served inside the EU, never routed to a US hyperscaler.
Zero retention
Prompts and completions are processed in memory and discarded. Nothing is logged.
No training on your data
Your prompts, documents and code never enter a training set. Ever.
Network isolation
Dedicated and on-premise run fully isolated, air-gappable for the strictest needs.
Encryption in transit
TLS 1.3 on every connection to the API, end to end.
Scoped API keys
Per-key RPM and concurrency limits, revocable instantly from the console.
// ai act
Enforcement starts August 2, 2026.
Non-compliance carries fines of up to 7% of global annual revenue. With Helmcode you're aligned by architecture today, no migration, no scramble before the deadline.
// trust & documentation
The paperwork your team needs.
Everything legal, security and procurement ask for, available on request.
Data Processing Agreement
GDPR-compliant DPA, ready to sign.
Security overview
Architecture, controls and data-flow documentation.
Sub-processor list
Every party in the chain, and where they operate.
// security faq
Security, answered.
What legal, security and compliance teams ask before approving Helmcode.
Do you store my prompts or completions?
No. Inference is processed in memory and discarded, zero logs. We retain only API-key metadata and aggregate request and token counters for billing. No prompt, completion, document or line of code is ever persisted.
Isn't an EU region on AWS or Azure enough for GDPR?
Not on its own. A US-headquartered provider remains subject to the US Cloud Act even when data sits in an EU region, which conflicts with GDPR. Helmcode runs on EU-owned, EU-operated infrastructure that is outside US jurisdiction.
Do you train models on my data?
Never. Nothing you send is used to train or fine-tune any model. Your data is yours; we only run inference on it and return the result.
How does Helmcode help with the EU AI Act?
The architecture already meets the substance of the obligations, EU-only processing, no training on your data, zero logs and a traceable stack, so you are compliant by design well before enforcement begins on August 2, 2026. See the AI Act guide for the detail.
Can I get a DPA and security documentation?
Yes. We provide a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement, a security overview and our sub-processor list on request. Reach out and we will share them.
Where is inference physically processed?
On Helmcode EU infrastructure. On dedicated and on-premise deployments it runs on hardware reserved for you, or inside your own datacenter, air-gappable if required.
