Project Clover planned two data centers in which country?

Project Clover planned two data centers in Ireland.

TikTok’s Project Clover was designed to create a more tightly protected European data environment after regulators and governments questioned where European user information was stored and who could access it. The plan included two data centers in Ireland, both associated with Dublin, alongside a third facility in Norway.

Ireland was already an important location for TikTok’s European operations, making it a natural base for the company’s regional data infrastructure. The first Irish data center became operational in 2023, while another Irish site and the Norwegian facility were developed as additional capacity for European user data.

The wording can cause confusion because Project Clover involved more than two data centers overall. Ireland is the answer when the question asks where the two planned centers were located; Norway refers to the separate third center. The project also involved security gateways and independent oversight intended to monitor access, data flows, and cybersecurity controls.
