Cross-Border Transfer

Transfer rules are written about data movement and frequently applied only to storage. An inference call sends content across whatever border separates the organization from the provider's endpoint, and that transfer is as real as a file copy — but it happens per request, invisibly, and is rarely enumerated in a transfer assessment. Organizations discover the gap when a regulator asks where prompts are processed rather than where documents are kept.

Centralpoint supports embedded local models running inside the organization's own infrastructure, in which case no transfer occurs because the content never leaves. Where cloud providers are used, the selection is explicit and per request, so which categories of content may reach which endpoint is a governed decision rather than a property of the architecture.
