Practical guidance for SMEs
The AEPD publishes tools and guidance for small and medium businesses. The deployment's data path is written for that practical review.
Self-hosted AI / Spain
Self-hosted AI for Spanish companies, with the AEPD's SME toolkit as the frame.
Private AI deployed for Spanish businesses under the GDPR and Organic Law 3/2018 (LOPDGDD), with hosting in Spain and a disclosed data path. The AEPD publishes practical tools and guidance for small and medium businesses, and the deployment is designed for that standard of review.

Why it matters here
The AEPD gives SMEs a practical path to accountability.
LOPDGDD adds national detail to the GDPR, and the AEPD's tools make the documented data path the normal starting point.
National detail on top
Organic Law 3/2018 adds national rules to the GDPR. Purposes, processors, and access are documented in the handover.
Data in Spain
eu-south-2 (Spain) is the default region, with on-prem for stricter requirements.
The three levels
The architecture follows the constraint.
There is no single correct answer. Quality, privacy, residency, and budget decide the path.
Your cloud, in Spain
App and document store in your account in eu-south-2 (Spain), with the model on your key. No GPU required.
For location requirements
An approved cloud region or managed service when residency and procurement matter.
For strict control
Model, embeddings, and retrieval on your hardware when external inference is not acceptable.
What it really takes
Measured workloads, not GPU shopping lists.
Hardware is sized after the workload is real. These are starting points, not quotes.
4 to 8 vCPU, 16 to 32 GB RAM
No GPU required for the app and document store. Model usage bills stay on the client account.
From 24 GB VRAM
A starting point for a small quantized text model. Model size, concurrency, and latency decide the real requirement.
Power, cooling, updates, backups
A GPU is one part of the environment. A partner data centre can be more realistic than an office server room.
Not the first promise
We size hardware after the workload is proven. No GPU inventory before a signed scope and deposit.
Straight answers
Common questions.
Where would the data be hosted?
The default is eu-south-2 (Spain), documented in the architecture before anything is built.
Does the AEPD need to approve the system?
No. The AEPD supervises processing under the GDPR and LOPDGDD. The deployment provides the documentation a review would inspect.
Who owns the accounts?
The Spanish client owns the cloud, model, and storage accounts. Pristine3D hands over the runbook, credentials, and training.
Do invoices come in euros?
Yes, from EUR 3,400 for a first workflow, with USD and naira floors unchanged.
A practical regulator and a documented data path. That is the Spanish standard.
Why trust Pristine3D?
We build and operate production software.
Pristine3D Ltd builds and operates live digital products, and we run private AI workflows internally as part of our own operations. We scope around your real workflow: the documents you own, the questions your team asks, and the access boundary you approve. Based in Lagos, Nigeria, we work remotely with clients worldwide.
We already run live products
Based in Lagos, Nigeria, Pristine3D currently builds and operates smartcards.ng, venu.ng, photoshoot.ng, and ugc.ng in production.
We start with the actual workflow
One input, one output, one test set, and one person who owns the result. We scope a real workflow instead of a transformation programme.
The boundary stays visible
Cloud, model, storage, and messaging accounts stay in your name. The chosen data path, access rules, test record, documentation, and training are part of the agreed scope.

Full pricing and what changes the quote
Own your knowledge base
The model is not the product. The knowledge base is.
Documents, the retrieval index, access rules, and the workflows built around them are the asset, and they compound. We deploy so the knowledge base stays yours: on your accounts, in the environment you choose, under access rules your team defines. The model behind the answers is a connector, so the knowledge base moves with you, not with a vendor.
Your corpus, your index
The document store, metadata, and retrieval setup live on accounts you own. No vendor holds the corpus.
Models are swappable parts
Change the model provider, move regions, or go local without rebuilding the knowledge base or the workflow.
The knowledge base is the alpha
Every improvement to the corpus improves the answers, and the improvement stays with you, not with a vendor.

Start with the constraint
What is your constraint?
Residency, AEPD review, procurement, or a no-external-inference rule. Describe it in English or Spanish and we will map the architecture.
