The Model System support article sets out the data path for the new Frontier (Minerva) category: the closed source model is accessed through Deutsche Telekom's T Cloud Public over an encrypted, isolated connection into a dedicated Google processing environment in an EU data center, under a data processing agreement. Noxtua states that across all categories client data is never used for model training and is held with zero retention during processing, and that conversation history stays in Noxtua's own encrypted storage on Deutsche Telekom and IONOS under Noxtua keys, with client set retention. It says the Standard (Athena) path has no US law provider in its chain, while Minerva only reduces US CLOUD Act exposure.
Buyer relevance. Leaving Frontier switched on puts a Google environment into the processing chain for client matter data, so firms with strict client confidentiality or outside counsel terms should review the processing agreement and set the category by admin policy. The vendor's own statement that Athena, not Minerva, is the path with no US CLOUD Act addressee gives buyers a clear basis for that choice.
