OpenAI expanded its data residency regions for ChatGPT and its API, giving enterprise users the option to store and process their data closest to their business operations and better comply with local regulations. This expansion removes one of the biggest compliance blockers preventing global enterprises from deploying ChatGPT at scale.

Data residency, often an overlooked piece of the enterprise AI puzzle, processes and governs data according to the laws and customs of the countries where it is stored. 

ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu subscribers can now choose to have their data processed in: 

Europe (European Economic Area and Switzerland)

United Kingdom

United States

Canada

Japan

South Korea

Singapore

India

Australia

United Arab Emirates
