Microsoft Forms data location
The following statement with the office-365.md
document is out of date and now incorrect:
At time of writing, Microsoft Forms processes and stores data for Australian tenants within the [United States](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-au/microsoft-365/enterprise/o365-data-locations?view=o365-worldwide#australia), it is recommended to not process sensitive information using Microsoft Forms.
Microsoft Forms for new customers within Australia (and existing ones who have not used Forms previously) have their data encrypted at rest in within Australian data centers:
Where data is stored for Microsoft Forms
Tenants in EU member countries maintain date 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.
