# Self-host

> Host Worlds locally or via Docker

Documentation for local-first and Docker self-hosting architectures is coming
soon.

<Note>
  Future updates will document all relevant friction points (Docker
  configuration, database setup, authentication) to contextualize deployment
  architectures.
</Note>

## Data sovereignty and compliance

Self-hosting Worlds guarantees absolute data sovereignty. By deploying the
Worlds API and its isolated components entirely within your own Virtual Private
Cloud (VPC), your AI agents never transmit proprietary context, Personally
Identifiable Information (PII), or Protected Health Information (PHI) to
third-party databases.

This architecture fundamentally simplifies regulatory compliance:

* **SOC 2 & ISO 27001**: Context graphs remain deeply nested behind your
  existing firewalls and identity access management.
* **GDPR & CCPA**: Since you control the persistence layer directly, you retain
  complete authority over data residency, right-to-be-forgotten requests, and
  administrative audit logs.
* **HIPAA**: Medical data never leaves your infrastructure, enabling you to
  build neuro-symbolic healthcare agents without requiring complex Business
  Associate Agreements (BAAs) with external vector search providers.
