Where (geographically) is the data stored for Microsoft Forms?
Hi,
thanks for alerting me to the update in the policy. We started using the Forms service before May 2017 so I am assuming our forms are not stored on EU servers. I am not sure if that would also mean that any new forms created just now would not be on EU servers?
Hi,
For organizations like ours, it would be essential to know that Forms data are stored in Europe. We also started using Forms before May 2017. Will Microsoft make it possible to move the storage of Forms to Europe?

I know that this is an old thread, but is there anymore clarity on this?
I'd really like to know where my forms data is stored. I know that the MS are stating that Forms is GDPR compliant, but the majority of customers for whom GDPR applies really need a bit more detail than that.
