This is a third-party integration and is not an Optimizely subprocessor. See Optimizely's [Third-Party Add-Ons & Platform Integration Terms](https://www.optimizely.com/legal/third-party-add-ons-platform-integration-terms/).
:::

You can use [BigQuery by Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/introduction) to access the data that Optimizely Experimentation ingests and stores, within your BigQuery project. BigQuery is a fully managed, serverless data warehouse. It lets you run GoogleSQL queries against large datasets. Using BigQuery offers the following advantages:

- Access Optimizely Experimentation data in your BigQuery instance in real time.
- Combine multiple datasets.
- Query your data however you need.

Your Optimizely Experimentation data is available through [an authorized view](https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/docs/share-access-views) in BigQuery. Authorized views let you view query results without accessing the underlying database tables.

**Important**

You must run queries in the same region where your data resides (US or EU). Cross-region queries are not supported.

For example, if your data resides in an EU BigQuery instance, all queries must be executed in the EU region.

See [Google Cloud's documentation on geography and regions](https://cloud.google.com/docs/geography-and-regions).
