What countries do you work with?
What kind of requirements are there for personal data in Russia?

Cross-border transfers of personal data are possible only with the consent of the owner and if the data were originally added to a database located within the territory of the Russian Federation. The law also details requirements related to the processing and technical defense of information systems, including their parts located on Russian territory.
