In fact, it’s an answer that is increasingly testing new privacy laws on either side of the Atlantic and forcing device manufacturers and software creators to question what data, if any, they can use in their products. This friction arises from last year’s court decision that Facebook’s transfer of personal data from the EU to its headquarters in the US breaches the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), leaving in limbo both multinationals and small-time players that leverage such data in their products.

Let’s consider how companies and tech creators can approach this new era of data rights and solve the increasing complexity of transatlantic data transfers.

The good news is that, despite the infinite complexities of cloud computing and data rights, companies can take precautionary steps to stay in line with the laws.

Of course, for those that do need to use the cloud for transatlantic data transfers, the best practice is to stick to the rules.
