According to a page in the docs for Google Cloud SQL:
Backup data is stored in two regions for redundancy
Suppose that the region for the database instance has been chosen so that the laws and state organizations respect privacy. Doesn't the above line mean that the data could be copied to another region where the laws and state organizations are much less respectful of privacy?
If the answer is "no", I would appreciate a pointer to some official Google source that states this.
