Where is the data saved after a form is submitted?

Where are they stored? This is about as much details Microsoft gives:

Forms from staff who leave the company, either transfer ownership to a group prior to leaving or admins can follow this https://support.office.com/en-us/article/transfer-ownership-of-a-form-921a6361-a4e5-44ea-bce9-c4ed63aa54b4?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US if the owner has left the organisation already, transferring the ownership by using a special URL which displays their forms:
Admin section for Forms, this tells you how to access available settings - https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/administrator-settings-for-microsoft-forms-48161c55-fbae-4f37-8951-9e3befc0248b.
Jay L - are you using Forms or Forms Pro? If Forms Pro, the data is stored in the Common Data Service, there is currently no 'admin' area at this time, but hopefully something in the future.

Megan_V_Walker Hi Mega, thanks for your reply. We're using Forms not the pro version. We're moving away form using Survey Monkey and I want to make sure i'm assessing MS Forms before making the switch. Thanks
