What is Whiteboards data residency?

Data at rest 

Data at rest means data that is stored physically on computer data storage in any digital form. This means all user-generated content and its backup.

Data in transit 

By data in transit, we mean any data moving actively from one location to another, for example, between one device to another, across the internet, or within a private network. Data in transit means, for example, HTTP requests and TCP packets. Be mindful of the fact that all the data at rest is sometimes, at least once, data in transit.

In-scope product data includes:

• All your custom templates, board data, cards, lines, attachments, text, diagrams, images, and all other objects you add to the board.

• All your integrations configurations (GitHub, Jira, Confluence).

• Backups of all objects you add to the board and integrations' configurations.

Out-of-scope product data includes:

• Logs (product audits and operational) — logs are used for operational maintenance and diagnostic purposes, as well as logs generated by changes related to content and configuration.

• License data — data provided for licensing purposes.

• Atlassian Marketplace App integration — Atlassian Connect provided configuration.

• Data in transit — data being processed but not stored by Whiteboards services

• Cached content — content stored in a non-specified region for up to 30 days with the purpose of content migration to a nominated location, or temporary storage of transactional content, such as emails, until delivery has been confirmed or abandoned.

• Product analytics — events collected by Whiteboards for in-product user experience optimization and performance.

• User analytics — events collected by Whiteboards to help understand experiences based on user interactions.

• User Account Data — because our users are global and can be members of multiple whiteboard organizations, we store the following user account data globally:
  - For all deployment options (Whiteboards for Jira, Whiteboards for Confluence, whiteboards.io) — access tokens.
  - For https://app.whiteboards.io only: first name, last name, user survey data (questions asked during the signup process, for example: your role, preferred use, etc.)

Depending on which version of Whiteboards you're using, your data can be stored in one of the locations provided below.

• APAC - Singapore

When you choose European Union: 

• In-scope product data is stored in Belgium. 

• Attachments are stored in European Union multi-regional locations. 

When you choose the United States:

• Attachments are stored in the United States' multi-regional locations. 

When you choose the Asia-Pacific region (APAC):
