Introducing data residency in Asia

Update on November 25, 2025

We’ve expanded our at-rest data residency options globally. For details on availability across additional regions, see our latest update.

We’re announcing data residency in Japan, India, Singapore, and South Korea for ChatGPT Enterprise, ChatGPT Edu, and the API Platform. This helps organizations operating in these countries meet local data sovereignty requirements when using OpenAI products in their businesses and building new solutions with AI. 

Data residency builds on OpenAI’s existing enterprise-grade data privacy, security, and compliance features.

Data residency in Asia for API, ChatGPT Enterprise, and ChatGPT Edu

With data residency, eligible API customers and new ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu customers can choose to have customer content stored at rest in supported countries.

ChatGPT Enterprise and Edu
New ChatGPT workspaces can be set up with data residency in supported countries, allowing customer content to be stored at rest in the region. This includes users’ conversations with ChatGPT and custom GPTs in your Enterprise or Edu workspace, including user prompts, uploaded files, and content across text, vision, and image modalities.

API Platform
Eligible customers can enable data residency by creating a new Project in the API Platform dashboard and selecting the relevant country. As of now, data storage for the API platform will be stored in the selected region.
