ABSTRACT
The fast-paced developments in digital technology, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and internet communication across the globe have resulted in greater flows of personal data internationally. Cross-border flows of data have contributed immensely to the processes of economic development, innovation, and international collaboration; however, the issue of cross-border personal data flow presents several legal problems as well. The disparities among national laws of data protection, the practices of government surveillance, cyber security threats, and jurisdictional issues have posed a number of cross-border controversies. The objective of this research paper is to study the issue of data protection law and the issues involved in regulating international data management. In this context, the research will look into the primary causes that lead to data protection issues at an international level. In addition, the paper will compare how Europe, the US, and India protect and regulate data management practices. Apart from this, the research will examine the role played by international organizations as well as the role of judicial decisions in the regulation of data protection. Moreover, some of the challenges related to data protection include non-uniformity in legislation, poor enforcement, and rapid technological development impacting privacy.
