Data Sovereignty definition
Data Sovereignty means, for the purposes of this Agreement, the rights of Aboriginal peoples to govern and control the collection, ownership and application of data (information and knowledge) about their communities, peoples, cultural heritage, Traditional Owner Knowledge and traditional cultural expressions;
Data Sovereignty means the principle that all data provided by or generated on behalf of a client (including KALA and any sublicensee) in connection with the Platform shall remain within such client’s own secure infrastructure and under such client’s exclusive custody and control at all times, and shall not be transmitted to, stored on, or accessible from any external servers, public cloud environments (provided that Younet may utilize private or isolated cloud environments solely with the prior written consent of KALA (or the applicable sublicensee), which consent shall specify the permitted cloud provider, the scope of data to be processed, and the security and isolation standards to be maintained, and which consent may be revoked upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice), or third-party AI services without the express prior written consent of such client.
Data Sovereignty means that data are subject to the laws of the place where they were collected. For example, due to the GDPR, companies have certain responsibilities pertaining to data about European users that they may not have for data about users outside the EU. In a fairness and ethics context, “data sovereignty” is often implied to mean “indigenous data sovereignty.” This is the idea that indigenous nations should have control over what data are collected about them and how those data should and should not be used. In NLP, this means centering the needs of the community in research on low-resource or indigenous languages, rather than treating language data as an exploitable resource. Steven Bird has an excellent paper on decolonial NLP [2] and the CARE guidelines [6] provide a framework for ethically working with indigenous communities and their data.
