Data privacy and governance

IBM Cloud® Schematics provides powerful tools to automate your cloud infrastructure provisioning and management process, the configuration and operation of your cloud resources, and the deployment of your app workloads. IBM Cloud Schematics allows clients to locate data in multiple supported IBM Cloud® regions. By providing clients with data mobility to serve the local needs of clients, IBM, and Schematics take data privacy and governance seriously.

In addition to the DPA, the cloud services contain DPA exhibits that detail the types of data. It is processed by this service and the relevant processing locations (including hosting locations) where client PI is processed. The relevant DPA exhibit for Schematics can be found on the IBM Cloud Terms site.

IBM Cloud relies on Standard Contractual Clauses (as the primary data transfer mechanism) in the client contracts. IBM Cloud also relies on numerous supplementary measures to help clients ensure an adequate level of protection when they transfer personal data outside of the EU/EEA.
