  • Publication number: 20240346164
    Abstract: A network system to allow global usage of data while allowing regional jurisdictions control over sensitive data. Different jurisdictions may declare different types of data as sensitive data that is not to be discoverable by a third party. The system allows the data to be shared across jurisdiction boundaries with complete auditability, traceability, and compliance. The system allows a first jurisdiction computing device to control the usage of the data that is stored outside of the jurisdiction. The technology allows the first jurisdiction to propagate rules, tokenization protocols, and updates to the system to manage the sensitive data. The system detokenizes the data when the data is to be used for an approved purpose by an approved party. If the original jurisdiction has a change in permissions for sensitive data, the jurisdiction can propagate a tokenization to all data stored in the data management system outside of the jurisdiction.
