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
Retention is set per Region by data-retention mode (none, default, aws_review); under 'none' no request or response data is written to durable storage. Exceptions: classifier-flagged traffic on most OpenAI models is kept up to 30 days, and Claude Fable 5 and 5.1 require aws_review, retaining all traffic up to 30 days. Content is not shared with model providers.
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
Setting the account or project retention mode to 'none' enforces zero retention; new accounts start at 'inherit', which follows each model's own default, and some frontier models are unavailable under 'none'.
