In case you missed out on our Advocacy Talks webinar together with ACASIA Communications Sdn Bhd on the topic of Data Sovereignty.

The webinar was regarding data sovereignty which is the idea that data are subject to the laws and governance structures within the nation it is collected. Here are some key takeaways from the Advocacy Talks webinar:

- The discussion on data sovereignty with regards to both collection and processing, as well as taking into account local laws and governance framework within the country;

- Within the 7 principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), sensitive personal data includes medical records and information on public authorities as well as companies; and

- With cloud computing services and technology, it would be vital for countries to consider the extensive implications, if and where there is a lack of control, especially in terms of safety.
