Region

Hosted products (Platform API, Brand Studio, Stable Assistant) process data on servers outside the EEA/UK/Switzerland, including in the US, per the Privacy Policy; cross-border transfer relies on Standard Contractual Clauses and Article 45 adequacy decisions. AWS is listed as a subprocessor hosting production environments and the HPC training cluster. Self-hosted/open-weight deployments keep all data inside the customer's own chosen environment.
