**Understanding Data Residency and Immediation’s Global Presence**

Data Residency is a crucial aspect of modern data management, particularly for organizations that operate across international borders. It refers to the physical or geographical location where data is stored. With the rise of cloud computing and global data flows, understanding and complying with data residency requirements has become essential for maintaining privacy, security, and regulatory compliance1.

**Why is Data Residency Important?**

Compliance with Regulations: Various countries have enacted data protection laws, such as the GDPR in the EU, which mandate that certain types of data be stored within the country or region where it was collected1.
Data Sovereignty: Data residency is closely tied to data sovereignty, which concerns the rights and control over data based on the jurisdiction of data storage and processing1.
Security and Privacy: By managing data residency effectively, organizations can ensure that their data handling practices align with local legal requirements, thereby reducing the risk of non-compliance penalties.
