Expanding data regions coverage to Google Classroom
What’s changing
Data regions for Google Workspace allows customers to choose a specific geographic location—in the U.S., in Europe, or globally distributed—for their covered data at rest to help meet organizational or compliance needs.
We previously added data regions coverage to Google Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Slides, and today, we’re extending data region coverage to primary user data for Google Classroom for the U.S. and E.U. data regions.
By expanding data regions coverage to Google Classroom user indices, we hope to better support our customers’ data location preferences and give them greater control.
