# Azure Active Directory B2C: Region availability & data residency
1919

20-
Azure AD B2C identity data is stored in a geographical location based on the country/region provided when you create the tenant.
20+
Azure Active Directory B2C (Azure AD B2C) stores customer data in a geographic location based on how a tenant was created and provisioned. For the Azure portal or Azure AD API, the location is defined when a customer selects a location from the pre-defined list.
2121

2222
Region availability and data residency are two different concepts that apply to Azure AD B2C. This article explains the differences between these two concepts, and compares how they apply to Azure versus Azure AD B2C.
2323

2424
Azure AD B2C is **generally available worldwide** with the option for **data residency** in the **United States, Europe, Asia Pacific, or Australia**.

[Region availability](#region-availability) refers to where a service is available for use.

[Data residency](#data-residency) refers to where user data is stored.
26+
[Region availability](#region-availability) refers to where a service is available for use. [Data residency](#data-residency) refers to where customer data is stored. For customers in the EU and EFTA, see [EU Data Boundary](#eu-data-boundary).

3230
Azure AD B2C is available worldwide via the Azure public cloud. You can see availability of this service in both Azure's [Products Available By Region](https://azure.microsoft.com/regions/services/) page and the [Active Directory B2C pricing calculator](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/details/active-directory-b2c/). Also, Azure AD B2C service is highly available. Learn more about [Service Level Agreement (SLA) for Azure Active Directory B2C](https://azure.microsoft.com/support/legal/sla/active-directory-b2c/v1_1).

## EU Data Boundary
60+
61+
The EU Data Boundary is Microsoft's commitment for our public sector and commercial customers in the EU and EFTA to process and store their customer data in the EU.
62+
63+
### Services temporarily excluded from the EU Data Boundary
64+
65+
Some services have work in progress to be EU Data Boundary compliant, but this work is delayed beyond January 1, 2023. The services listed will become compliant over the coming months. The following details explain the customer data that these features currently transfer out of the EU Data Boundary as part of their service operations:
66+
67+
* **Reason for customer data egress** - These features haven't completed changes to fully process admin actions and user sign-in actions within the EU Data Boundary.
68+
* **Types of customer data being egressed** - User account and usage data, and service configuration such as policy.
69+
* **Customer data location at rest** - In the EU Data Boundary.
70+
* **Customer data processing** - Some processing may occur globally.
71+
* **Services** - Administrator actions in the Azure portal or APIs, and User Sign-In Service

## Remote profile solution
6274

6375
With Azure AD B2C [custom policies](custom-policy-overview.md), you can integrate with [RESTful API services](api-connectors-overview.md), which allow you to store and read user profiles from a remote database (such as a marketing database, CRM system, or any line-of-business application).
