AI BriefingData Residency Introduced in Asia Region
Key point
OpenAI supports Data Residency features in 4 Asian countries including Korea.
Details
OpenAI has launched Data Residency features for businesses and educational institutions operating in Korea, Japan, India, and Singapore. Through this, users of ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and API Platform can store customer content in the relevant region to meet local data sovereignty requirements.
When Data Residency is applied, all content including users' conversations, custom GPTs, prompts, and uploaded files (including text, vision, and images) is kept at-rest within the selected region. API users can enable the feature by selecting the relevant country when creating a new project in the dashboard.
Building on its existing robust security and compliance features, OpenAI provides the following protective measures.
- Advanced encryption technology: AES-256 applied for data at rest, TLS 1.2+ applied for data in transit
- Exclusion from data training: Business plan and API data is not used for model training unless the customer explicitly consents
- Compliance with global standards: Support for privacy laws such as GDPR and CCPA, and compliance with SOC 2 Type 2 and CSA STAR
- Clarification of compliance responsibilities through provision of a DPA (Data Processing Addendum)
