Where is the initial form data stored?

Hi 

I know from the forum that data is collected from the form and sent to the JotForm secured servers.

However, I'm not sure the form data is simultaneously stored in a text / xml file with an instance of the form? How come information can be transferred between forms using a URL? When data is transferred or prepopulated between two forms, is it pushing data between two forms or is it calling data from a SQL and pushing into the next form?

Thanks

 How come information can be transferred between forms using a URL? 

It is just using your browser's session cache to temporarily store data.
