They’re stored to all the places pointed to by the URLs in your name’s zone file. You can get the zone file with blockstack lookup or with blockstack get_name_zonefile (the latter requires activating advanced mode).

On your cloud storage. It could be dropbox, Amazon S3, Google Drive, whatever. We support a bunch of them.

You can also run your own server - in your basement or on your seastead - store your data in the jurisdiction you want.
