Hi everyone, I'm integrating WeatherKit into an app for users in Mainland China, and I have a data residency question I haven't been able to resolve from the documentation. To fetch weather data, the app sends the user's precise latitude/longitude to WeatherKit. Under China's Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL), precise geolocation is personal information, and cross-border transfers are strictly regulated — so I need to understand where this data actually goes. While testing on Android (REST API), I captured the outbound request and it connected to an IP that appears to be located in Mainland China. That's encouraging, but a single edge/CDN IP doesn't prove the data stays in-country — it could still be forwarded to or accessed from servers outside Mainland China. My questions: When a request originates from Mainland China, does WeatherKit process and store the latitude/longitude within Mainland China, or is it transferred/accessible outside? Does WeatherKit have a data localization deployment for Mainland China (similar to how iCloud is operated locally there)? Is there any official documentation on WeatherKit's data residency and request logging (IP, coordinates, retention period)? If anyone from Apple or the community has insight — or can point me to the right documentation — I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

We are evaluating using the WeatherKit REST API for our app in Mainland China. To ensure compliance with local data protection regulations (such as PIPL / Data Security Law), we need to clarify how location data (latitude and longitude) is routed and stored during WeatherKit API calls. Could someone from Apple or the community clarify the following two questions regarding WeatherKit API calls made within Mainland China: When our server queries the WeatherKit REST API using a location's latitude and longitude from Mainland China, is this coordinate data routed to/processed on servers located outside Mainland China? Data Storage (At-rest): Does Apple store or log these queried coordinates on servers located outside Mainland China? Any official documentation, guidelines, or insights regarding WeatherKit's infrastructure setup for Mainland China would be greatly appreciated.
