Data residency
Where your delivery data sits, stated narrowly
A delivery business holds customer names, phone numbers, addresses and a record of every drop. Below is who publishes the rules that cover data in Saudi Arabia, and what QuickE will and will not say about its own hosting.
This page is general information for delivery operators, not legal advice. Rules change, so confirm anything that affects your licence or your tax position with the regulator or with your own adviser.
Who publishes the rules
Two statements, each linking the body that publishes it and showing the date we last checked.
What QuickE says about its own hosting
Three sentences, and no more than three, because anything wider would be a claim we have not earned.
- Data is hosted on cloud infrastructure.
- The hosting region is documented for customers on request.
- Residency commitments are made per contract.
This page claims no Saudi hosting region, no certification, no audit and no compliance attestation. If your business needs one of those, ask for it in writing before you sign anything, from us and from anyone else you are comparing.
What this means for a delivery operator
In operations language rather than legal language. Four things worth knowing before you sign with any software vendor.
The data a delivery business holds
Names, phone numbers, home addresses, the time somebody was at home, a photo taken at a door and a signature. Dispatch software collects all of it as a side effect of doing the job, which is why the question of where it lives comes up at all.
SDAIA oversees the law
The Personal Data Protection Law in Saudi Arabia is overseen by SDAIA, so that is the body whose published position governs, and the one to read rather than a vendor summary of it, including this one.
Cloud classification sits with CST
Cloud service classification in Saudi Arabia is governed by the CST Cloud Computing Regulatory Framework. If a question is about how a cloud service is classified, that framework is where the answer is published.
Ask every vendor the same two questions
Where is the data hosted, and what residency commitment goes in the contract. A page on a website is not an answer to either. Ours are that the region is documented on request and the commitment is written per contract.
The other two guides
Questions operators ask
- Who oversees the Saudi Personal Data Protection Law?
- SDAIA oversees the Personal Data Protection Law in Saudi Arabia. Its published material is the source this page checks against.
- Where does QuickE host data?
- On cloud infrastructure. The hosting region is documented for customers on request, and residency commitments are made per contract rather than promised in general terms.
- Does QuickE have a Saudi hosting region or a compliance certification?
- This page does not claim one. No Saudi region, no certification, no audit and no attestation is stated here. If residency or a certificate is a requirement on your side, put the question in the contract conversation and ask for the answer in writing.
- What is the CST Cloud Computing Regulatory Framework?
- It is the framework that governs cloud service classification in Saudi Arabia, published by CST.
- Is this page legal advice?
- No. It is general information for delivery operators, checked against SDAIA and CST and dated on the page. Anything that affects how you handle personal data should be confirmed with the regulator or your own adviser.
Ask us where the data sits
We will give you the hosting region and write the residency commitment into the contract, which is where it belongs rather than on a marketing page. Start free, or take your data requirements through with someone first.
