+# Identity data storage for Australian customers in Azure Active Directory
+
+Identity data is stored by Azure AD in a geographical location based on the address provided by your organization when subscribing for a Microsoft Online service such as Office 365 and Azure. For information on where your Identity Customer Data is stored, you can use the [Where is your data located?](https://www.microsoft.com/trustcenter/privacy/where-your-data-is-located) section of the Microsoft Trust Center.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Services and applications that integrate with Azure AD have access to Identity Customer Data. Evaluate each service and application you use to determine how Identity Customer Data is processed by that specific service and application, and whether they meet your company's data storage requirements. For more information about Microsoft services' data residency, see the Where is your data located? section of the Microsoft Trust Center.
+
+For customers who provided an address in Australia, Azure AD keeps identity data for these services within Australian datacenters: 
+- Azure AD Directory Management 
+- Authentication
+
+All other Azure AD services store customer data in global datacenters. To locate the datacenter for a service, see [Azure Active Directory – Where is your data located?](https://www.microsoft.com/trustcenter/privacy/where-your-data-is-located)
+
+## Microsoft Azure multi-factor authentication (MFA)
+
+MFA stores Identity Customer Data in global datacenters. To learn more about the user information collected and stored by cloud-based Azure MFA and Azure MFA Server, see [Azure Multi-Factor Authentication user data collection](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/active-directory/authentication/concept-mfa-data-residency).
+
+## Next steps
+For more information about any of the features and functionality described above, see these articles:
