What Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act 2018 requires
The CLOUD Act requires U.S.-based communication and cloud service providers to produce user data requested by U.S. law enforcement through a valid legal process (warrant, subpoena), regardless of where the data is stored globally. It also establishes a framework for international agreements to facilitate cross-border data access for law enforcement, as codified in 18 U.S.C. § 2713 and § 2523.
