Personal data storage with Ory Network
Blog post from Ory
Ory Network provides a flexible solution for managing the geographical storage of users' personal data, allowing businesses to comply with data privacy regulations like GDPR without compromising performance or availability. While personal data such as email addresses and phone numbers can be stored in a user-selected region to meet regulatory requirements, operational data like access tokens and sessions are globally replicated to ensure low latency and high availability. Unlike other software solutions that have separate regional deployments, Ory Network offers a unified global network, enabling seamless data queries and modifications from anywhere. Users can choose their personal data storage location during project creation, and enterprise customers can opt for "Global" or "US Continental" personal data storage to align with their user base's geographical distribution. Moreover, Ory is developing a Compliance API to facilitate the transfer of personal data between regions, ensuring compliance without disrupting user experiences.
