Legal and fair access issues

I am considering using AirTable for a project sponsored by the European Research Council. However before making a decision, we need specific answers to basic questions:

  1. Does AirTable own any rights to data stored in it?
  2. Where are the cloud servers physically located? There are possible issues if data is stored outside of the European Union.
  3. What happens to the data should AirTable go out of business?
  4. Can data stored in AirTable be made to conform to the European Commission’s FAIR
    principles? https://www.openaire.eu/how-to-make-your-data-fair
  5. Can an AirTable be made open access?

I am a bit concerned that I have been unable to find any link to any AirTable site where these questions can be asked of the company itself.
