Where is my data stored?
SafetyCulture stores your data at rest in data centers operated by Amazon Web Services. These data centers are located in the U.S., EU (Ireland), and Australia.
If your organization was created before March 2, 2022, your data will generally be stored in a data center located within the U.S.

Please note, the storage location of your data may be different from that mentioned above.

Product experience
Some features in SafetyCulture are not supported to function across data centers. In SafetyCulture, you may see references to data centers as "regions".
External template sharing
When sharing templates with a user in another organization, your options may vary depending on whether their organization is hosted in a different data center or not. If they are, you'll only be able to send them a snapshot copy of your template rather than giving them direct template access.
