Data Residency

Data residency means storing your data in a specific geographic location to meet local laws and regulations.

​

Why does data residency matter?

Different regions have different requirements for where data can be stored:

• GDPR requires that EU citizens’ personal data is protected according to European standards, no matter where it’s stored or processed.
• Some government organizations in countries like Australia must keep certain data within their borders.

By choosing where your data is stored, you can meet these requirements and demonstrate compliance.

​

How does data residency work in Speckle?

Speckle workspaces let you choose where your data lives, so you can stay compliant while keeping full control over your data.

• Every workspace starts in Speckle’s default region.
• Business plan customers can choose a different region for their workspace to meet their compliance needs.
• The Extra data region add-on lets you set data residency at the project level for more granular control.

​

Available Regions

Data residency is available on the Business plan.

• Choose from EU, UK, North America, or Asia Pacific as your workspace’s default region. All of your project data will be stored in this region.

• For more granular regions, and project-specific regions, contact us

  about the Extra data region add-on.

• If you don’t specify a region, your data automatically goes to Speckle’s default region, optimized for performance and speed.
