Hosting and data residency
Two separate things matter here. Your diagram data lives in your Confluence site, which means Atlassian's hosting and Atlassian's data residency choices apply to it.
The rendering service is ours, and it is where a text diagram's source goes to be drawn. It runs in the United States for every site. If residency for that matters to you, turn off External diagram rendering and diagram source stays in the browser.
#When this matters
Data residency requirements.
Procurement and vendor assessment.
Deciding whether to keep external rendering on.
#The detail
Thing | What happens |
|---|---|
Diagram source and previews | In your Confluence site, under Atlassian's hosting and residency. |
Permissions and identity | Confluence, always. |
Rendering service | Ours, and the only place diagram source is processed outside your tenant. |
Current hosting details | Published on our trust and security pages, which are kept current. |
#A few things that catch people out
The residency question is really two questions. Storage is Atlassian's; rendering is the browser's, or ours if you allow it.
Turning off External diagram rendering answers the residency question for diagram content, at the cost of a few diagram types.
For current specifics, use our published trust pages rather than a wiki page that may age.
