About storage of your data with data residency

When you adopt GitHub Enterprise Cloud with data residency, you can choose where your company's code and data are stored. Your enterprise will be hosted on a dedicated subdomain of GHE.com.

Currently, you can store code and data in the EU. In the future, GitHub plans to offer data residency in more regions.

Although your code and user data are stored within your chosen region, GitHub may store certain types of data outside your region, and may need to transfer some data outside your region.

If you are in doubt about any aspect of data residency, contact your account manager in GitHub 的销售团队.

Data transfers

GitHub will document reasons for the transfer of data out of your enterprise's region, but does not notify you when transfers occur.

Additionally, GitHub sends information about the TLS certificate for your enterprise's subdomain on GHE.com to certificate authorities (CAs) and the certificate transparency (CT) ecosystem. Some entities may be outside of your enterprise's region.

Data subject requests

If you need to comply with a data subject request (DSR), contact GitHub 支持.

If GitHub receives a request from one of your data subjects pertaining to data residency for GitHub Enterprise Cloud, where GitHub functions as your processor or subprocessor, GitHub will redirect the data subject to you. Consistent with the functionality of the services and GitHub's role, we will cooperate with you and provide you the necessary means to respond.
