BSA | The Software Alliance has published model digital trade provisions on cross-border data and digital trust for use in ongoing Digital Economy Agreement negotiations.
Data moving across borders is critical for the services that sustain global commerce, improve health and safety, promote social good, and enable the technologies of the future.
