# How to Set Compliance and Privacy

> How compliance and privacy topics like applicable frameworks, consent, and data residency are configured for your account.

**Core.** Compliance and privacy settings are governance decisions for your legal and privacy leads, set up together with your Customer Success contact, not as self-serve toggles.

## Purpose

These settings govern how candidate data is handled under the privacy law that applies to you. Talk to your Customer Success contact about compliance requirements like applicable frameworks, consent, and where your data is stored — they'll help configure this for your account.
