Jurisdictional Sovereignty

Data Residency

The physical location where data is stored and the legal jurisdiction governing it — CLAVI eliminates this concern by keeping data on the user’s own hardware.

Definition

The physical location where data is stored and processed, and the legal jurisdiction that consequently governs it. Data residency is not a technical detail — it is a sovereignty decision. Data stored on a US cloud provider is subject to US law regardless of the user’s nationality. CLAVI eliminates this concern entirely: data resides on the user’s own hardware, in the user’s own jurisdiction, under the user’s own authority.
