What US CLOUD Act 2018 - Government Access to Data Stored Overseas and Provider Obligations requires
The Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data (CLOUD) Act (18 U.S.C. § 2713) requires US providers to disclose customer data in response to lawful US law enforcement process regardless of where the data is stored. It also establishes a framework for bilateral executive agreements that can override US law enforcement access for foreign nationals' data. Cloud providers must assess the conflict-of-laws risk between CLOUD Act obligations and foreign data protection laws (GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPL).
