# Data Sovereignty

::: tip INFO

**Data Sovereignty in this context does not relate to the ownership of the data. It is the
responsibility of the user to ensure that they have permission from the data owner to work with the
data. This is especially true when it comes to Indigenous data.**

In this context, Data Sovereignty is used to indicate that data processing with Describo Cloud will
occur in a geographic region as close as possible to the location of the user and hopefully, with
the same or similar legal contexts.

:::

In order to support users across the globe, regional services have been provisioned in the Describo
Cloud. The AWS region you use `depends on the Geo location of your IP address` and it happens
automatically when you go to use a given capability.
