In the tables on\nthis page, support for regional endpoints is indicated in columns with the **REP\nsupport** heading.\n\nFor more information, see [Global and regional endpoints for\nSensitive Data Protection](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/api-endpoints).\n\nLocation-specific limitations\n-----------------------------\n\nNote the following limitations of location-specific processing using\nSensitive Data Protection:\n\n- Image [inspection](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/inspecting-images) and\n [redaction](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/redacting-sensitive-data-images), as well as image inspection\n within the following file types are only supported in the\n [multi-regions](#multi-regions) and the `global` region:\n\n - PDF\n - Microsoft Word (DOCX)\n - Microsoft Excel (XLSX)\n - Microsoft Powerpoint (PPTX)\n\n If you attempt to inspect images in a\n region that doesn't support it, Sensitive Data Protection will fall back to\n scanning images as binary files. As a workaround, you can configure your\n scan job to skip these files by\n [selecting the appropriate file types](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/inspecting-storage#sampling)\n when setting up the job. This limitation applies to images within these\n file types only; location-specific processing of PDF, DOCX, XLSX, and PPTX\n files is supported.\n- [Storage inspection](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/inspecting-storage) is supported in [all regions that\n support region-specific Google Cloud storage\n repositories](/about/locations#americas). Not all [storage\n types](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/concepts-method-types) are available on a region-specific basis. If a\n storage repository type such as BigQuery is not available for\n use in a particular region, you can't inspect it using\n Sensitive Data Protection.\n\n- The [`content` methods](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/concepts-method-types)\n ([`content.inspect`](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/reference/rest/v2/projects.content/inspect),\n [`content.deidentify`](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/reference/rest/v2/projects.content/deidentify),\n [`content.reidentify`](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/reference/rest/v2/projects.content/deidentify))\n are available in [all regions](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/locations#regions).\n\nAvailable locations\n-------------------\n\nThe following sections list the Sensitive Data Protection locations available for\nprocessing your data.\n| **Note:** All Sensitive Data Protection features are accessible globally. That is, you can always access all Sensitive Data Protection features on a non-region-specific basis.\n\n### Africa\n\nThe following table lists the regions in Africa where Sensitive Data Protection is\navailable.\n\n### Americas\n\nThe following table lists the regions in the Americas where\nSensitive Data Protection is available.\n\n### Asia Pacific\n\nThe following table lists the regions in Asia Pacific where\nSensitive Data Protection is available.\n\n### Europe\n\nThe following table lists the regions in Europe where\nSensitive Data Protection is available.\n\n### Middle East\n\nThe following table lists the regions in the Middle East where\nSensitive Data Protection is available.\n\n### Multi-regions\n\n^1^ Data sent to the `europe` multi-region is not processed in the\n`europe-west2` (London) or `europe-west6` (Zürich) regions.\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- Learn more about [geography and zones](/docs/geography-and-regions).\n- Learn how to specify a region or multi-region for Sensitive Data Protection to process your data in, see [Specifying processing\n locations](/sensitive-data-protection/docs/specifying-location)."]]
