A. Data is subject to the laws and regulations of the country where it resides.
Data sovereignty refers to the legal principle that data is subject to the laws and regulations of the country where it is physically stored or processed. This means that if data is stored in a specific country, it must comply with that country's legal framework, including regulations related to privacy, security, and data protection.
Why the other options are incorrect:
B. A country has the right to access the data generated within its borders: While it is true that governments may have the authority to access data within their borders, this is not the central focus of data sovereignty. Data sovereignty primarily addresses the jurisdictional authority over data rather than the right to access it. It concerns how laws apply to data based on its physical location, not necessarily governmental access.
C. An individual has the right to control their personal data: This refers more to data privacy and individual rights (such as in the GDPR). While data sovereignty may touch on individual rights, the core concept is about the sovereignty of the nation over data stored within its territory, not individual control over personal data.
D. Data must always be encrypted in transit and at rest: This is a security measure that is important for protecting data, but it is not related to data sovereignty. Data sovereignty is more about jurisdiction and the legal implications of where data is stored, not how it is secured.
