Geo Region Restriction (GRR) for Test Reporting and Analytics

Learn about BrowserStack’s Geo Region Restriction (GRR) for Test Reporting & Analytics, including supported regions, limitations, and setup requirements.

BrowserStack lets you keep your data within your selected geographic region through GRR, helping you meet local compliance requirements and maintain strong security.

For more information, refer to the Geo Region Restriction (GRR) document.

GRR supported regions

BrowserStack Test Reporting & Analytics supports GRR in the following regions:

• Europe (eu)
• India (aps)

When you enable GRR, all your core test data will be stored and processed within your chosen region. This includes uploaded apps, test execution data, logs, and the infrastructure components you access during testing.

Data covered by GRR

GRR covers the majority of your core test data within BrowserStack Test Reporting & Analytics, ensuring it remains within your chosen region and is not accessible from other regions. This includes:

• Test execution data and logs
  All logs and data generated from your test runs are stored within the region. This includes text logs, visual logs, video logs, network logs, Selenium logs, device logs, browser profiling data, and framework-specific logs (Playwright, Cypress, etc.).
• BrowserStack infrastructure
  All infrastructure components accessed during your test are hosted within your selected region.
• Data validation
  Any data created, modified, edited, or archived in your chosen region will remain exclusively within that region.
• Data redirection
  If GRR is enabled and you attempt to access Test Reporting & Analytics from a location outside your designated region, you will be redirected to the corresponding Test Reporting & Analytics site for your region. This redirection is based on your GRR settings, not your physical location.

Data not covered by GRR

The following data types are not currently included in GRR restrictions:

• Usage analytics
  Aggregated, anonymized data about product usage patterns.
• Personally identifiable information (PII)
  Usernames and email addresses used for authentication. This data is kept separate for security purposes and is not shared.
• Payment and billing data
  Financial information related to your account.
• Test metadata
  Information such as capabilities, build names, and test names are not region-restricted.

Feature limitations when using GRR in Test Reporting & Analytics

• IP geolocation testing is not supported when GRR is enabled.
• Biometrics and camera functionality are not supported on Android devices when GRR is enabled.
