What does data sovereignty actually mean?

Data sovereignty generally means that data is subject to the laws and regulations of the country in which it is created, stored, or processed. It regulates control over who can access the data, where it is stored, and how it is used, which is a complex issue for companies and individuals given the global nature of data transfer.

A key aspect of data sovereignty:
State and regional control: This concept emphasizes that data collected in a specific country or region is subject to the laws and standards of that country. For example, with the GDPR, the EU regulates the data of EU citizens so that it remains under the protection of EU law.

datenhoheit.IT goes much further when developing websites, platforms, or customized applications:
Protecting companies and their server data, as well as monitoring essential information:

Who visits the company's website, platform, or application and why?
datenhoheit.it determines and analyzes the identity, activity, and origin of visitors in real time. This way, damage caused by criminal intent by "visitors" can be directly prevented.

Data sovereignty is therefore not only essential to ensure the protection of data on your (cloud) server from unauthorized access, manipulation, or illegal use, but also to understand the performance of your website. Valuable insights can be gained, such as: What interests the visitor, which product, which service, or which information. This valuable information can be used to monitor or optimize offers and marketing measures.
