Where does Refined store customers' cloud data?

Refined's The data we store is hosted by Heroku in the US and by AWS (eu-central-1, Frankfurt), in the EUin the US by default. From September 12 on, we’ll offer the option to migrate data to the EU.

Data residency in the EU can offer these benefits:

  • Companies who work in regulated industries like finance, government, or healthcare may need data residency in the EUR to meet GDPR and/or other data security/privacy requirements.

  • Companies who have their Atlassian instance and user base in the EU may experience faster loading of Refined sites if the Refined instance is also located in the EU.
