Why Location Matters

Different regions have different privacy laws that may require your data to be stored in specific locations:

European Union (EU): The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets strict rules for protecting personal data and may require EU data to stay within EU borders.

Canada: The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) governs how organizations collect, use, and share personal information.

United States: Privacy laws vary by state and industry. For example, healthcare organizations must follow HIPAA rules, while California businesses may need to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

Australia: The Privacy Act regulates how organizations handle personal information and requires transparent data practices.
