Amazon Bedrock: data residency & retention
Headquarters
🇺🇸 United States (US)
Where inference runs
US, EU, Other
Inference runs in the AWS Region the customer selects (Bedrock spans US, EU, APAC and other commercial Regions), and content is encrypted and stored at rest in that Region.
Region pinning
Yes, self-serve
Region selection is inherent to AWS; cross-Region inference offers geography-bound profiles (US, EU, APAC) that keep routing within the geography.
Prompt retention
Not retained
Bedrock uses a zero-data-retention model by default (inputs and outputs are not stored); documented exceptions retain traffic up to 30 days for abuse review on specific third-party frontier models — not Amazon Nova.
Trains on API data
No
Customer content is not used to improve base models and is not shared with model providers.
Zero data retention
Available
ZDR is the default for most models including Nova; a configurable data-retention mode can enforce zero retention account- or project-wide.
