• Microsoft · November 5, 2026

  Microsoft announced on November 5, 2026 that Claude models in Copilot will be processed within the EU Data Boundary by the end of 2026, for organizations in the European Union and EFTA, Copilot Cowork included. For organizations that have already enabled Claude, processing will move into the EU Data Boundary automatically, with no action on their part. The setting remains disabled by default in the EU and EFTA. It is not yet in effect: Microsoft gives no date beyond “the end of 2026”, and its documentation, updated on November 4, 2026, still states that these models are “currently excluded from the EU Data Boundary”. The announcement mentions neither Copilot Studio nor Power Platform (named in the current exclusion), nor the UK, nor models “with Data Retention”. The setting, unchanged: Microsoft 365 admin center, Copilot, Settings, View all, “AI providers operating as Microsoft subprocessors”. Follows our November 2 entry on the same setting.
