Cloud Firestore - selecting region to store data?

I'm working on a product which for legal reasons needs to store user data in a specific region.

I'm using Firebase so I created a project selecting the region it needs to be in however looking at firestore where the user data is kept I can't find anything pinpointing the region the data actually is. The thing which makes me worry the most is the Cloud Functions endpoints start with us-central1 but obviously that could just be that cloud functions don't exist in the specified region.

Given this is an important matter is there a way to confirm the location of data and even force it to be in a specific region?

Update

Cloud Firestore supports the following regional GCP resource locations, in addition to the 2 multi-region (nam5, eur3) locations: GCP resource locations See the documentation for an up-to-date list of locations.

Original Answer

Cloud Firestore is currently only available in our US multi-region (Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina). As we approach GA we plan to roll it out to multiple locations across the globe and you'll be able to select which one at creation time. Not something you can do today though.
