Data sovereignty refers to the concept that data is subject to the laws and regulations of the country in which it is located. This includes who can access the data, how it is stored and processed, and how it is protected from unauthorized access. Data sovereignty is an important issue in the digital age, as data is increasingly being stored and processed across borders. Governments and organizations are grappling with how to protect the privacy and security of their data while also complying with differing legal requirements in different countries. This research area explores how data sovereignty impacts businesses, governments, and individuals, and how it can be managed in a way that balances the interests of all stakeholders.
