Data processing at Copilot for Power Platform

Question asked yesterday in the workshop: “Where is the data collected by Copilot for Power Platform processed?” I didn’t have an answer yesterday, but I do today. 😊
The data is first processed in the region where the environment to which I sent the prompt is located.

Microsoft also reserves the right to process the data outside the source region if it is busy. The load is then distributed to data centers in geographical proximity, i.e., in Germany, then Sweden, the Netherlands, France, etc. Microsoft guarantees processing within Europe.

However, an administrator can disable this feature by selecting the affected environment in the Power Platform Admin Center and disabling the “Move data between regions” setting in the “Generative AI features” section. If you disable the option, however, Copilot features may no longer be available for that environment.
