How do I make sure unencrypted traffic is only available locally?.How do I build local requirements into my global online operations?.Variously, they are trying to figure out:

The availability of information on their Internet properties will remain global–they don’t want to limit access to their websites to local jurisdictions–but they want to make sure data stays local. The preference or requirement for data localization is growing across jurisdictions such as the EU, India, and Brazil over time, we expect more customers in more places will be expected to keep data local.Īlthough “data locality” sounds like a simple concept, our conversations with Cloudflare customers make clear that there are a number of unique challenges they face in the attempt to move toward this goal. Many categories of data that our customers process (including healthcare, legal, or financial data) may be subject to obligations that specify the data be stored or processed in a specific location. Why keep data local?Ĭloudflare’s customers have increasing desire or face legal requirements for data locality: they want to control the geographic location where their data is handled.

We’ll also talk about how Cloudflare makes it possible to build applications that comply with data locality laws, while remaining fast, secure and scalable. In this post, I’ll explain the different types of data that we process and how the Data Localization Suite keeps this data local. Today, we’re announcing tools that make it simple for our customers to build the same rigor into their own applications. We comply with laws like GDPR and maintain certifications such as ISO-27001. Preserving end-user privacy is core to our mission of helping to build a better Internet we’ve never sold personal data about customers or end users of our network. The Data Localization Suite is available now as an add-on for Enterprise customers.Ĭloudflare’s network is private and compliant by design. Today we’re excited to announce the Cloudflare Data Localization Suite, which helps businesses get the performance and security benefits of Cloudflare’s global network, while making it easy to set rules and controls at the edge about where their data is stored and protected.
