Where is Data Stored?

I'm creating a privacy policy, and I'd like to know where my customers/members data is stored so I can include that.

Thanks for your post, @cchristopher. You might want to use this policy generator that we provide for this: https://www.weebly.com/tools/privacy-policy

Very helpful context, and I will be adopting some of this language. Thank you.

However, I still don't see any indication of where the data is stored. Can you speak to that?

[Adam7]

I'm not sure what the answer to that is in any specific way, and I wouldn't want to advise you to say something that could potentially be inaccurate.

Essentially: Where are your datacenters / cloud regions?

Where does the data live? Where's it being served from? Do I have the option for US-based information, or is it likely/possible it'll be stored on servers all around the globe?

If I have people creating accounts on my site, I need to know where that data is kept. That's what I'm asking. Maybe I wasn't clear.

I know that they're in the United States and that we don't at the moment have any overseas, although that could always change in the future. I don't know anything more specific than that, though.
