<a name="regions"></a>

**Note**  
If you make a request that requires Amazon Q Developer to retrieve information from an opt-in Region not listed on this page, Amazon Q can make calls to that Region. To manage access to Regions Amazon Q can make calls to, see [Allow Amazon Q permission to perform actions on your behalf in specific regions](id-based-policy-examples-users.md#id-based-policy-examples-allow-actions-some-regions).

This topic describes the AWS Regions where you can use Amazon Q Developer. For more information about AWS Regions, see [Specify which AWS Regions your account can use](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/accounts/latest/reference/manage-acct-regions.html) in the *AWS Account Management Reference Guide*.

Your data may be processed in a different Region from the Region where you use Amazon Q Developer. For information on cross-region processing in Amazon Q Developer, see [Cross-region processing](cross-region-processing.md). For information on where data is stored during processing, see [Data protection](data-protection.md).
