Where is data hosted?

Intercom services and data are hosted in Amazon Web Services (AWS) facilities in the USA (us-east-1), Dublin, Ireland (eu-west-1), and Sydney, Australia.

You can identify which data region you’re hosted in by looking at your workspace URL:

  • app.intercom.com for US customers

  • app.eu.intercom.com for EU customers

  • app.au.intercom.com for Australian customers

Intercom also uses other third party sub-processors in order to provide our services, which you can read about in our Data Processing Addendum and see a list of here.

You can read more about how your data is stored in our Data Processing Addendum, for EU workspaces in our European Data Hosting Addendum, and for AU workspaces in our Australia Data Hosting Addendum.

If you are interested in EU or AU data hosting, you can read more about our Regional Data Hosting offering.
