> Microsoft does provide the tools to keep data storage compliant with EU data rules. It doesn't matter; the CLOUD Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CLOUD_Act) means that, even if Microsoft (or any other USA company) takes every care to keep data storage compliant with EU data rules, that data can still be transferred to the USA. The only way around it is to have a completely independent non-USA company hold the EU data; I've heard that Microsoft used that trick in the past, but they stopped doing it for some reason.
