Source: Microsoft Learn, Data, privacy, and security for Foundry Models sold by Azure (page of 18 May 2026, updated 5 June 2026). Prompts and completions are not used to train foundation models without the customer's permission. With a Data Zone deployment in an EU member state, prompts and answers are processed in an EU member state, and data at rest stays in the geography the customer designates.
The use cases, and the other deployment models
The functions of the AI gateway are identical in every deployment model.
