User and authentication data is stored in the US so we can continue to run a global Airtable offering. Airtable supports our customers’ privacy obligations by offering a Data Processing Addendum (DPA) that sets out the terms that apply when a customer's personal data is processed by Airtable, including the appropriate technical and organizational measures implemented to protect such personal data. Our DPA helps our customers ensure that Airtable’s processing of customer personal data is conducted in accordance with applicable privacy laws and respects the privacy rights of individuals.

The GDPR requires organizations to use appropriate security and legal mechanisms to transfer personal data from the European Union (EU) or United Kingdom (UK), to a country outside of the EU or UK, such as the US. To support our customers’ obligations with respect to data transfers, Airtable has incorporated the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (EU SCCs), and the UK Standard Contractual Clauses (UK SCCs) into our DPA. The EU SCCs and UK SCCs are pre-approved by the European Commission and the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office to be used by organizations as appropriate data transfer mechanisms under the GDPR.
