Miscellaneous / 🔎 Data Sovereignty vs Data Residency — Know the Difference 🔎

« on: December 12, 2025, 07:16:51 AM »

Many in the industry use “data residency” and “data sovereignty” interchangeably — but they aren’t the same.

Data Residency = Where your data is physically stored (which country/data-center).

Data Sovereignty = Which country’s laws apply to your data, regardless of where you or your company are based.

For enterprises, startups or any business using cloud, this distinction can affect compliance, regulation risk, and security. With regulatory frameworks (like Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP), telecom rules, IT-law in India), it’s crucial to understand both.
