As I mentioned above, there are tons of documents outlining the different aspects of this across all Microsoft cloud services, which you can get to from the Trust center: https://servicetrust.microsoft.com/ViewPage/TrustDocuments?command=Download&downloadType=Document&downloadId=c03fc336-8a33-4e5b-b03d-1ecba19aaf6f&docTab=6d000410-c9e9-11e7-9a91-892aae8839ad_FAQ_and_White_Papers
