Control comes from several decisions: Who operates the platform? Where are data stored? Which model processes a request? How are local systems connected? And how can a provider be changed?
Sovereignty depends on several decisions, not on a single location.
MeinGPT and its data layer are operated by the independent German company SelectCode GmbH on Hetzner infrastructure in Germany. This provides a clear operating context for the platform, but it does not describe every aspect of a specific AI use case.
Model choice, connections to internal systems and the contractual terms of involved providers matter as well. We name those dependencies explicitly. For us, sovereignty means being able to distinguish, limit and change them when needed — not claiming complete independence.
