The question we asked: Does the product documentation say where AI requests are processed and stored?

Grading standard

yes: the product documentation states the regions where AI requests are processed and where AI data is stored, for all of the product's AI features. A subprocessor or trust page counts if it is part of the product documentation. Regions for some AI features only, or processing without storage, is partly. Terms published only on a separate trust or legal site outside this documentation are not evidence, so their absence here is nothing found, not no.

Databricks

Yes

Hex

Partly
Quoted from Hex’s docsAny Subprocessor with a Data Residency listed as "Deployment Region" means the general geographic region of the hosted environment (generally, either the European Union or United States of America as selected by Customer) and no Customer Data leaves the stack’s region (e.g., Customer Data from the multi-tenant European Union stack sent to Datadog stays within the European Union).
