The European alternative for secure AI research
While US tools send your data across the Atlantic, Freiya keeps it where it belongs. GDPR-native. Self-hostable. Zero telemetry. Built for institutions that take data sovereignty seriously.
Native GDPR compliance, not a US afterthought
Unlike US tools retrofitting compliance, Freiya was built from the ground up for European data protection requirements.
GDPR Article 28 ready
Pre-approved Data Processing Agreement (DPA) available. Standard Contractual Clauses not required for EU-EU processing.
Data sovereignty
All data remains within EU borders. No transfers to US-based cloud providers. Compliant with Schrems II ruling.
Audit trails
Complete logging of data access and processing activities. Exportable audit logs for compliance reporting.
Data minimisation
We only process what's necessary. No analytics, no tracking cookies, no profiling. Privacy by design.
Transparency
Clear documentation of all data processing. Open to third-party security audits. Source code review under NDA.
Right to erasure
Complete data deletion on request. No shadow copies, no backup retention issues. Full RTBF compliance.
