Data sovereignty

Answer in brief

Data sovereignty is the question of whose law can reach your data, which depends on the provider and its owners as well as on where the data sits.

Data sovereignty in practice

A machine in the United States run by a company based elsewhere, and a machine abroad run by a US company, raise different sovereignty questions with the same or different residency.

To answer it, read which legal entity you contract with, which law governs the terms and who operates the facility. Location by itself does not settle it.
