Regions and data residency

Choose where your visitors' data lives. Each organization belongs to one region, and identification data never leaves it.

Fingerly runs a separate data plane in each region. Your organization belongs to one region, chosen once, and the data about your visitors is collected, processed and stored there.

Choosing a region

The owner chooses the region when setting up a new organization. The choice is permanent: an organization cannot move between regions. To use two regions, create an organization in each.

What stays in the region

In your regionIn the United States
Identification events and archived submissionsAccounts and sign-in
Visitor identifiersOrganizations, members and invitations
SDK keys and proxy keysBilling and payments
Risk weights and thresholds
Webhook endpoints, secrets and deliveries
Analytics, queues and backups

When you view visitor data in the dashboard, your browser reads it directly from your region's API. It does not pass through the United States.

Routing

  • Every key carries its region, and the SDKs send requests to that region's API automatically.
  • A key presented to another region's API is refused.
  • A proxy forwards only to the region in its proxy key.
