The primary storage location, or 'jurisdiction', for an R2 bucket is explicitly chosen by the user during the bucket creation process in the Cloudflare dashboard or via API. This selection allows users to designate the geographic region where their data will physically reside, satisfying specific data residency and compliance requirements.
