Data Residency for Other Microsoft 365 Services
Data Residency commitments available
Use the following guidance to determine where your data is located. Please reference your tenant Default Geography.
Azure Active Directory (AAD)
Please refer to Azure Active Directory Data Locations.
Forms
Tenants in EU member Countries maintain data in Macro Region Geography 1 – EMEA. All other tenants have customer data stored in the United States, except Australia. For customers in Australia, Microsoft Forms customer data will be stored at rest in Australia for all new tenants using Forms and existing tenants that have not previously used Forms.
Intune
Refer to endpoint.microsoft.com, Tenant Administration | Tenant Status for existing tenants. If you do not have an existing tenant, create a trial tenant and provision Intune.
- Microsoft will not store Intune customer data at rest outside the stated geo, except if:
- It is necessary for Microsoft to provide customer support, troubleshoot the service, or comply with legal requirements.
- The customer configures an account to enable such storage of customer data, including through the use of the following:
- Features that are designed to operate globally, such as Content Delivery Network (CDN), which provides a global caching service and stores customer data at edge locations around the world.
- For Azure Active Directory: Please refer to Azure Active Directory Data Locations.
- Preview, beta, or other prerelease services, which typically store customer data in the United States but may store it globally. Regardless, Microsoft does not control or limit the Geo from which customers or their end users may access customer data. Similarly, where customer data in other services is subsequently integrated into Intune, the originating customer data will continue to be stored subject to the other service's own Geo commitments (if any); only the copy of the customer data integrated into Intune will be stored in the stated Geo for Intune.
Office for Mobile
Customer data for this service comes from other services, like Exchange Online and SharePoint Online. There is no customer data stored outside of those services with the exception of the mobile device.
OneNote Services
OneNote stores customer data in OneDrive for Business. It does however have an API that can cause persistent caches to be made outside of the Geography where OneDrive for Business stores customer data.
Planner
Please see the Static data location information for select workloads section.
Power Apps for Microsoft 365
Please refer to Dynamics 365 availability and data locations | Microsoft Learn.
Stream
You can find this information from the "?" option in the Stream UI, if you have it running and then click on "About Microsoft Stream" and see where your data is stored. If needed, create a trial tenant.
Viva Goals
Summary
Service documentation: Introduction to Microsoft Viva Goals
Capability summary: Microsoft Viva Goals is a goal-alignment solution that connects teams to your organization’s strategic priorities, unites them around your mission and purpose, and drives business results. Viva Goals enables individuals and companies to organize and track their goals through “Objectives and Key Results” (OKRs). Viva Goals immerses everyone in the company’s purpose and top priorities and creates a culture of engaged employees focused on achieving common goals.
Data Residency Available
Starting December 5, 2022, Viva Goals Customer Data for new tenants in the European Union Data Boundary (EUDB) will be stored in data centers located in the EU. All other tenants will have their Viva Goals Customer Data stored in data centers located in the United States. Tenants aren't provided with a choice for the specific deployment region for data storage.
To be considered a tenant in the EUDB:
- The tenant must have a default geography in a EUDB country or select a country in EUDB country as their residence during free trial sign-up; and
- The tenant must not purchase a Multi-Geo offering
Migration
Customers who signed up for Viva Goals prior to December 5, 2022, currently have their data stored in the US data centers. We'll migrate the data for these customers to data centers located in the EU over the coming months. Customers won't have to do anything to facilitate this move.
Viva Insights – Advanced, Mgr, Leader
Please see the Static data location information for select workloads section. The data region for Manager/Leader and Advanced is determined by the Default Geography of the tenant, not individual users.
Viva Insights – Personal
Customer data is processed and stored in the employee's Exchange Online mailbox. Data residency for Personal insights in Viva Insights is based on the employee's mailbox location. For more information, see Personal insights in Viva Insights privacy guide for admins.
