Data residency
If you ever hear IT talk about this, it means where your organization’s data physically lives on a server, not just “in the cloud” as some abstract idea. It matters because privacy laws differ by region, like GDPR in the EU or PIPEDA in Canada, and where your data sits can affect what rules apply.
Still confused? We get it. ContactMonkey’s help center guide on choosing your data storage location breaks down what each region actually means for you.
