If you are using Azure to store or process the personal data of EU citizens, you should be aware of this and take appropriate measures to protect that data.

Azure also requires that data controllers take reasonable steps to ensure that individuals can exercise their rights to access their personal data, correct their data, and delete their data. Azure complies by providing individuals with easy-to-use tools to access their personal data, correct their data, and delete their data.
