If your enterprise uses {% data variables.enterprise.data_residency %}, you can enable a policy to ensure that all inference processing and associated data for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot %} remain **within your designated geographic region**.

## Supported regions

{% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} with data residency is currently available in the following regions:

* United States
* European Union

{% data variables.product.company_short %} plans to add support for more regions in the near future.

## How restrictions are enforced

When you enforce data residency for {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}, {% data variables.product.company_short %} routes all {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} requests to model endpoints within your enterprise's designated region. Your code, prompts, and {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} responses never leave your region during inference processing.

The enforcement happens at multiple levels:

* **Authentication and routing**: Users' authentication tokens only grant access to your region-specific endpoints, ensuring that traffic never leaves the designated geography.
* **Model availability**: {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %} will only surface models that are certified and available in your region. Developers cannot access models hosted outside your region.
* **Logs and telemetry**: All {% data variables.product.prodname_copilot_short %}-related logs and telemetry are stored within region-appropriate, compliant storage.
