The U.S. Department of Justice has unveiled sweeping new Data Export Rules that could significantly impact businesses handling sensitive data—especially those with international operations. These regulations introduce strict limitations on transactions that could expose government-related or large-scale personal data to countries of concern, with a strong focus on China.

Join our expert panel as they unpack the broad implications of these rules, including:

  • Key compliance obligations for U.S. businesses
  • Restrictions on data brokerage and foreign transactions
  • How these changes could affect your contracts, partnerships, and data governance strategies

With potential long-term effects across industries, companies must assess whether their agreements and third-party relationships fall within these new requirements. Barring changes by the incoming Trump administration, these regulations could reshape cross-border data governance for years to come.
