Digital sovereignty
In brief
To be able to decide for oneself what happens to one’s data and tools, without another country or company being able to impose its own rules or cut off access.
▶ Precise definition
The ability of an organisation or a state to maintain control over its data, data processing and technological dependencies, free from the constraints of foreign law and the risk of disruption imposed by a third party. It is not measured by a brand’s nationality, but by verifiable characteristics: applicable law, location, conditions of access and reversibility.
