-# Enable South Korea addresses in Azure Maps
+# Consent management
 
-To comply with South Korea's data residency laws, Azure Maps processes requests for South Korean addresses within the South Korean region. Customers can store private information in the region their Azure Maps account exists while sending specific South Korea data requests across regions.
+In some cases, it may be necessary to process requests in a region different from your Azure Maps Account's region due to local data residency laws. When this happens, you can grant Azure Maps consent to process your data in other specified regions.
 
-This article explains how to configure the global data processing settings in your Azure Maps account using the Azure portal.
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> This enables the configuration of where data processing occurs and does not impact where data is stored.
