Designed and Operated for EU Data Privacy and Sovereignty The new sovereign cloud region operates under a comprehensive set of policies and governance that further enhance OCI's existing internal capabilities for data residency, security, privacy, and compliance. These policies include a framework for data and operational sovereignty, including how OCI stores and manages access to data, and how data access from entities outside the EU are handled. The Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud data centers are located in the EU (Frankfurt, Germany and Madrid, Spain), and they are owned and operated by separate Oracle-owned EU legal entities incorporated within the EU, with operations and customer support restricted to EU-based personnel. Oracle EU Sovereign Cloud builds on Oracle Cloud's existing compliance programs that enable customers to demonstrate adherence to regional and industry regulations.
