The workflow data includes the input circuits, circuit parameters, and quantum computation results. It does not include metadata, such as number of shots, size of circuits, or other job statistics.

To avoid exposure of the user's workflow data to a global Distributed Denial of Service protection layer, you can use [Virtual Private Endpoints](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/overview?topic=overview-endpoints-support). `qiskit-ibm-runtime` supports this through the [`private_endpoint` parameter](/docs/api/qiskit-ibm-runtime/qiskit-runtime-service).

For more information about the available IBM Cloud regions and data centers for Qiskit Runtime, see the [Service and infrastructure availability by location](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/overview?topic=overview-services_region) topic.
