You don't get to know the actual data center or even state, but you do choose the political entity. I believe there is an EU law requiring certain data to be stored in the EU. I can't remember but it's like individual financial and/or medical data, so this would be a requirement to use cloud storage for those applications.</div><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;"><br></div><div style="color:#000;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;text-decoration:none;font-family:Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;">Scott</div></div></body></html>
