Reposting my questions just because it seems that multi-questions aren't accepted!
Q1: Will data be stored and processed solely in UK data centres (for a UK based tenant)?
Sydney_GrahamMicrosoft
If you are signed up for EAP today, data from the UK is processed in North America, but we are actively working on changing that during the Preview and by GA data will be processed in your home region or very close to it.- Sydney_GrahamThe LLM call processes customer data in memory and returns the response and other customer content artifacts to the home region. No customer content data is written outside the home region for the user. For European Union users, we have additional safeguards to comply with the EU Data Boundary. EU traffic stays within the EU Data Boundary while worldwide traffic can be sent to EU and other geographies for LLM processing. Please see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployOffice/privacy/microsoft-365-copilot for more details.
Sydney_Graham Yana Terukhova thank you yet found contradicting information in the supplemental terms when following all the links. Under data flows it says (yellow mark) "by using AOAI Features, customers agrees its data may be stored and processed outside of its tenant's geographic region, compliance boundry or national cloud instance." That does not comply with the EU data boundry. Additonally in the T&C from July it does not clearly mention that all data remains within EU data boundry. Clear non-contradicting information would be super helpful since we need to present it in front of the works council. Our company is located in Austria btw - but simply used the already existing thread.
- Sydney_GrahamThank you for the follow-up! These terms apply to Dynamics 365, Power Platform, and Viva Sales- not M365 Copilot. They are separate products.
