Where data lives · how it moves
Your data, in the jurisdiction you operate.
Transaction and customer data is stored in the regulator's jurisdiction by default. Cross-border flows exist only for the narrow technical purposes required to run the platform, and are auditable end-to-end.
Regional data planes.
Three regions of operation map to three isolated AWS data planes. Each plane is owned by the local operating entity of AI Kiosk International Inc. — never shared, never replicated outside its regulator's jurisdiction.
