Does GDPR data need to be stored in EU? The GDPR requires that all data collected on citizens must be either stored in the EU, so it is subject to European privacy laws, or within a jurisdiction that has similar levels of protection.

Data masking and encryption of personal data are some of the measures that can be taken to ensure the security of personal data. However, the GDPR does not require organizations to store personal data of EU citizens only within the EU or use encryption protocols approved by the EU. In contrast, the Russian law of privacy requires companies to store personal data of Russian citizens on servers located within the territory of the Russian Federation. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in fines and other penalties. The GDPR does not impose such a requirement.

Option A states "Never store personal data of European Union citizens outside the European Union." Although the international transfer of personal data outside the EU is subject to restrictions under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the law does not strictly prohibit the storage of EU citizens' data outside the region. Rather than outright prohibiting the storage of data outside the EU, the GDPR states that when personal data is transferred outside the European Union to non-EU countries, appropriate safeguards must be implemented to ensure an adequate level of data protection. These safeguards may include standard contractual clauses, the use of approved certification instruments, or the assessment of the adequacy of the recipient country in terms of data protection.
