OpenAI Expands Data Residency to Asia
OpenAI has launched a new data residency program in Asia, following a similar rollout in Europe earlier this year. This program allows organizations using ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and the OpenAI API to store their data within Asia, addressing local data sovereignty requirements.
Eligible API customers and new ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu subscribers can choose to store their data in Japan, India, Singapore, and South Korea.
Enhanced Data Control and Security
OpenAI emphasizes that data remains confidential, secure, and fully owned by the customer. This data residency program further strengthens data control for organizations operating in Asia.
For the API platform and ChatGPT business products, data remains confidential, secure, and entirely owned by you. Data residency further enhances data control for organizations.
This announcement comes as OpenAI expands its global reach with initiatives like "OpenAI for Countries," aiming to build infrastructure to better serve international clients.
This new program offers significant benefits for Asia-based organizations:
- Improved data security and compliance with local regulations.
- Greater control over sensitive data.
- Enhanced trust and transparency for users in the region.
