# PUT /{accountId}/policies/data-retrieval

`PUT /{accountId}/policies/data-retrieval`

This operation sets and then enacts a data retrieval policy in the region specified in the PUT request. You can set one policy per region for an AWS account. The policy is enacted within a few minutes of a successful PUT operation.

The set policy operation does not affect retrieval jobs that were in progress before the policy was enacted. For more information about data retrieval policies, see [Amazon Glacier Data Retrieval Policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/data-retrieval-policy.html).
