# Where is Coassemble data stored, and can I choose a region?

> How Coassemble handles data residency, what the default storage region is, and the options available for region-locked deployments.

By default, all Coassemble data is stored and processed on US-based infrastructure, currently in Oregon, USA. This covers course content, uploaded documents, learner data, and AI processing.

For teams with data residency requirements, Coassemble offers region-locked server options in the EU, US and APAC. These are available on the Partner plan as part of a negotiated agreement.

## What is the default data region?

All data is stored and processed in the United States (Oregon) unless a region-locked server is explicitly configured as part of your plan agreement.

## What region-locked options are available?

Region-locked servers are available for three regions:

- **EU** (European Union)
- **US** (United States)
- **APAC** (Asia-Pacific)

When region locking is active, data is processed and stored within the specified region. This applies to course content, learner data, and AI processing.

## Which plan includes region locking?

Region-locked servers are available on the **Partner** plan. They are not available on Build or Scale.

Region locking is configured upfront as part of your plan setup. It cannot be added after onboarding without starting a new account.

## What about dedicated servers?

Dedicated servers (single-tenant environments) are also available on Partner and can optionally be region-locked. Self-hosting is available on request for teams with specific deployment requirements.

## What encryption standards apply?

- **Data at rest:** AES-256
- **Data in transit:** TLS 1.2

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I change my data region after signing up?

No. Your server environment is chosen at the point of setup and cannot be changed after onboarding without starting a new account.

### Does AI processing stay in the selected region?

Yes. When a region-locked server is active, AI processing happens within that region alongside the rest of your data.

### Is a DPA available?

Yes. A Data Processing Agreement is available on Scale and Partner. On Partner, the DPA is folded into the full MSA. See [trust.coassemble.com](https://trust.coassemble.com/) for security documentation and certifications.
