international data transfer
International data transfer refers to the movement of digital information across national borders. This can include personal data, business information, and other types of digital content. Organizations often need to share data with partners, clients, or service providers located in different countries, which can raise legal and regulatory challenges.
To ensure compliance, many countries have specific laws governing how data can be transferred internationally. For example, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union sets strict rules on transferring personal data outside its member states. Organizations must implement safeguards to protect data during these transfers.
