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.
Let’s focus this discussion on your other thread.
