Firebase Authentication for EU
Currently, Firebase Auth is US only. Because the EU-US-Privacy-Shield is not valid anymore, transferring data to the US is for EU companies not allowed. Therefore, Firebase is not GDPR complaint. Allowing us to choose the storage location (like you can weigh Firestore or Cloud Storage) to use a data center in the EU (like europe-west1, europe-west3 or europe-west4, etc.) would make Firebase much more GDPR complaint (beside the Cloud-Act).

Does this also affect the Identity Platform? I haven't found any info where the data of this service is stored.
