Abstract: In an increasingly interconnected world, the regulation of cross-border data transfers has become a legal and practical challenge for governments, corporations, and individuals. Balancing security and privacy within this globalized landscape is fraught with complexities, as national and regional regulatory standards often diverge. This paper explores the legal challenges in cross-border data transfers, focusing on major regulatory frameworks like the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, the CLOUD Act of the United States, and other region-specific data protection laws. Through a comparative analysis, the study investigates the intersection of sovereignty, data localization mandates, and the need for harmonized international standards to ensure both security and privacy. The paper concludes by discussing potential solutions for policymakers, including standardized data-sharing agreements and enhanced international cooperation.
