description: Learn how to securely share data in MotherDuck

:::note
Shares are **region-scoped** based on your Organization's cloud region. Each MotherDuck Organization is scoped to a single cloud region that must be chosen at Org creation when signing up.

MotherDuck is available on AWS in three regions:
- **US East (N. Virginia):** `us-east-1`
- **US West (Oregon):** `us-west-2`
- **Europe (Frankfurt):** `eu-central-1`
:::

You can securely share data in MotherDuck. MotherDuck's sharing model is specifically optimized for the following scenarios:
- Sharing data with everyone in your Organization for easy discovery and low-friction access. Typical of small highly collaborative data teams.
- Sharing data with specific accounts in your Organization. Popular with data application builders needing to isolate tenants.
- Sharing data publicly with anyone with a MotherDuck account in the same cloud region as your Organization, including users outside your Organization.
