# Data residency

When you sign up for PingOne Advanced Identity Cloud, you specify the region where you want your data to reside. This is key in helping you meet data residency compliance requirements while letting you place data as close to your users as possible.

Advanced Identity Cloud uses [pre-configured ranges of IP addresses](https://www.gstatic.com/ipranges/cloud.json) in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) regions. The IP addresses are not exclusive to Ping Identity.

## Regions

The tables in this section show all the region abbreviations for the data regions that Advanced Identity Cloud uses. The region abbreviations are used in the naming convention of your [tenant environment FQDNs](environments.html#tenant-environment-fqdns).

The tables also indicate secondary backup regions when available.
