EU-Only Data Residency for AI Verbatim Coding: What Rundux Guarantees Now
Rundux already hosted every workspace in Tallinn. Now we route all LLM inference through EU-only endpoints with zero retention so procurement teams can approve faster without slowing AI.
- AI verbatim coding
- Compliance
- Security
Data residency moved from checkbox to deal-breaker in 2025. EU procurement teams now expect every AI verbatim coding vendor to prove that application data never leaves the bloc and that LLM prompts stay inside EU jurisdictions with zero retention. Rundux already hosted the platform in Tallinn; today we are extending that guarantee all the way through inference.
App hosting: EU-first from day one
Our marketing site, control plane, databases, and backups run exclusively on zone.ee infrastructure in Tallinn, Estonia, with encrypted object storage mirrored to Amazon Web Services S3 buckets in EU-central-1 and eu-west-1. Every verbatim upload, taxonomy edit, audit log, and analytics event you generate inside Rundux stays on EU soil, covered by GDPR-aligned contracts and monitored by a local operations team.
Inference routing: EU-only OpenRouter with zero retention
We now execute all large language model calls via OpenRouter’s EU region (`https://eu.openrouter.ai`). Every prompt, completion, and telemetry packet remains in Europe, and OpenRouter’s enterprise zero-retention controls ensure nothing persists after the response returns. We enforce this at runtime—production keys refuse to talk to global endpoints, and we allowlist only EU-regional providers under `provider.zdr` to keep residency airtight.
Need a dedicated European gateway? We can also switch workloads to partners like Requesty.ai, which guarantees 100% EU processing from its Frankfurt routers (`https://router.eu.requesty.ai/v1`) and ships with ISO 27001-certified infrastructure. The point is flexibility: whatever route your governance team prefers, every inference request stays inside EU borders with zero training-on-customer-data.
Contractual clarity for procurement teams
Security questionnaires now include our updated DPA annex that lists zone.ee and OpenRouter EU Enterprise as subprocessors. We provide network diagrams, traceroute evidence, and quarterly access reviews so buyers can validate the residency promise without waiting weeks for bespoke audits.
What this unlocks for insights leaders
- Faster legal sign-off: EU-only routing eliminates cross-border transfer clauses for GDPR and upcoming AI Act assessments.
- Stronger governance narrative: combine Rundux audit logs with residency evidence to close security questionnaires in hours, not days.
- No performance trade-off: OpenRouter’s EU network keeps latency low while tapping the latest GPT-5 and Mistral checkpoints.
If your RFP or internal policy mandates full EU residency, Rundux now covers both halves of the workflow—storage and inference—without custom engineering. Ready to see it in action? Start free with €5 credit and run your next verbatim coding sprint knowing every byte stays in-region.
