Abstract

Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are provided for managing geographically distributed data storage in a group-based communication system and for servicing deletion requests related thereto. In some embodiments, an apparatus physically located in a first geographic area defined by a first geographic boundary is provided. In embodiments, upon determining that an entity identifier associated with a message is associated with a geographic data storage policy, the apparatus is configured to transmit a geographic data residency message package comprising message data of the message to a geographic data residency server physically located within a second geographic area defined by a second geographic boundary. The second geographic area is associated with the geographic data storage policy. In some embodiments, the apparatus is configured to update the message data of the message with residency token data received from the geographic data residency server.
