BabySea acts as an execution layer and does not retain control over the internal processing performed by inference providers. Customers should review the respective provider's data processing terms where applicable.

BabySea operates three isolated data regions. This page explains where your data is stored, where compute happens, and how global edge infrastructure fits into the picture.

1. Data regions

When you create a BabySea account, you select a data region. Your account data, generation records, API logs, webhook logs, credit ledger, and consent records are stored in the database and storage infrastructure assigned to that region.

Each region operates its own database, authentication, storage, cache, and analytics infrastructure. There is no cross-region data synchronization. Your data stays in the region you selected at sign-up. The third-party providers powering these layers are listed in the List of subprocessors.

2. Edge compute

BabySea's application code runs on Vercel, which operates a global network of edge Points of Presence (PoPs). When you make an API request or load the dashboard, your request is handled at the nearest available PoP.

Vercel's current edge compute locations used by BabySea include:

Edge compute nodes execute application logic - such as request validation, authentication, rate limiting, and response formatting - close to the caller. They do not store persistent data. All reads and writes go back to the database in your assigned data region.

This means a request from Singapore to a US-region account is computed at the Singapore PoP but reads and writes data in North Virginia.

3. CDN and network layer

Cloudflare provides DNS, CDN, WAF, DDoS protection, and web analytics across all BabySea domains globally. Cloudflare operates over 300 data centers worldwide. Like Vercel's edge compute, Cloudflare processes requests at the nearest edge node for performance and security purposes. Cloudflare does not store persistent customer data.

4. What this means for data sovereignty

Persistent data - account records, generation logs, API keys, webhooks, credit ledger, consent records, and output files - is stored only in the data region you selected. It does not replicate to other regions.

Transient processing - request routing, authentication checks, rate limiting, response formatting - may happen at any global edge location, but no persistent customer data is retained at those nodes.

5. Inference providers

When you submit a generation request, BabySea routes it to a third-party inference provider. The provider processes the request and returns the result. Inference providers and their processing locations are listed in the List of subprocessors.

Inference routing depends on the model, media type, and route configuration. Where a provider offers regional endpoints, BabySea routes requests to the endpoint that matches your data region. For example, Black Forest Labs requests from the EU region are sent to the EU endpoint (Germany), and US region requests are sent to the US endpoint. Where no regional endpoint is available, the provider's default location applies. Current provider locations are listed in the List of subprocessors.

6. Predictive provider routing

When a request specifies "fastest" as the provider order, BabySea selects providers using a regional ranking computed from prior provider attempts in your data region. Each region's ranking is computed only from that region's data; there is no cross-region telemetry.

7. Analytics

BabySea uses consent-based analytics technologies. Availability varies by region:

Analytics data collection requires your consent and can be managed through the cookie consent controls described in the Cookies policy.

8. Summary

Your persistent data lives in one region. Compute and network infrastructure is global for performance and availability, but does not retain your data. For a full list of third-party processors and their locations, see our List of subprocessors page.
