Amazon Nova: 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
Nova models on Bedrock inherit Bedrock's zero-data-retention default — inputs and outputs are not stored, and the 30-day abuse-review exception for certain third-party frontier models does not apply to 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.
