Relevant Glossary terms
Data localization requirements: Requirements relating to the location of data and other content or data centres or the provider. They may prohibit certain data (including metadata and backups) from residing in or transiting into or out of a certain area or jurisdictions or require that prior approval be obtained from a competent State body for that. They are often found in data protection law and regulations, which may in particular prohibit personal data from residing in or transiting into jurisdictions that do not adhere to certain standards of personal data protection
Intellectual property (IP) licences: Agreements between an IP rights owner (the licensor) and a person authorized to use those IP rights (the licensee). They usually impose restrictions and obligations on the extent and manner in which the licensee or third parties may use the licenced property. For example, software and visual content (designs, layouts and images) may be licensed for specific use, not allowing copying, modification or enhancement, and be restricted to a certain medium. The licences may be limited to a particular market (e.g., national or (sub)regional), a number of users or a number of devices, or may be time-bound. Sub-licensing may not be permitted. The licensor may require reference to be made to the IP rights owner each time the IP rights are used.
Personal data: Sensitive and non-sensitive data that can be used to identify the natural person to whom such data relate. The definition of personal data in some jurisdictions may encompass any data or information directly or indirectly linked or relating to an identified or identifiable individual (the data subject).
Sector-specific regulations: Financial, health, public sector or other specific sector or profession regulations (e.g., attorney-client privilege, medical professional secrecy) and rules for handling classified information (broadly understood as information to which access is restricted by law or regulation to particular classes of persons).
