Retention Default
Not stated in the public product pages reviewed. The offering is positioned on GDPR compliance and data sovereignty, but no inference retention window is published.
Retention Exceptions
The optional OpenAI and Anthropic models are reached through partners such as Microsoft rather than Telekom infrastructure, so selecting them moves the row's whole sovereignty argument to a third party.

Eu Procurement Reason
Structurally about as sovereign as a hosted service gets: 15+ models operated in Deutsche Telekom data centres in Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland, ISO 27001 and BSI C5, confidential computing, and a documented path to deploy on customer-owned infrastructure instead. The reason this is conditional rather than pass is documentation, not architecture — no public page states the training default or an inference retention window, and the optional OpenAI/Anthropic path routes through partners. This is the weakest-evidenced row in the batch and should be re-verified against a contract.
