Google Cloud Digital Leader — Question 168

How does the legal concept of data sovereignty affect data?

Answer options

• A. Data is subject to the laws and regulations of the country where it resides.
• B. A country has the right to access the data generated within its borders.
• C. An individual has the right to control their personal data.
• D. Data must always be encrypted in transit and at rest.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is accurate because data sovereignty dictates that data is governed by the laws of the country in which it is stored. Option B is incorrect as it implies access rights rather than the legal jurisdiction of the data. Option C, while related to personal data rights, does not address the broader legal context of data sovereignty. Option D pertains to data security practices rather than the legal implications of where data is located.
