Data Region

exitcloud.io supports regional data residency to help meet performance and regulatory requirements.

You select a data region before signing in or creating an account.
All assessment data, reports, and metadata are stored and processed exclusively within the selected region.

How it works

  • The data region is selected on the login page
  • The selected region determines where your account is created
  • All future assessments and reports remain in that region

Once selected, the data region cannot be changed for that account.

  • your organization or customers are based in Europe
  • you have GDPR or EU data residency requirements

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ United States (US)

  • your organization or customers are based in the United States
  • you require US-based data residency

Notes

  • Regions are fully isolated
    EU and US environments are separate platforms with no shared data.

  • Region selection is permanent
    Accounts and assessments cannot be migrated between regions.

  • Choose based on data residency, not convenience
    For regulated environments, always select the region that matches your legal or contractual requirements.

If you are unsure which region to choose, select the region where your assessment data is legally required to reside.
