As a foundational component of the current digital infrastructure, cloud computing enables efficient data storage, analysis,
and control over the internet for both corporations and consumers. Utilizing cloud-based technologies allows organizations to reap the benefits of improved accessibility, cost efficiency,
and scalability. These advantages motivate digital transformation and new ideas across numerous sectors, including healthcare, banking,
education, and business. However, in order to ensure regulatory compliance, data security, and the defence of user rights, significant legal concerns have been raised by the rapid adoption of cloud computing. Data ownership, privacy regulations, jurisdictional conflicts, and questions of liability pertaining to cloud service providers (CSPs) rank high among the most pressing legal
issues.
One of the primary concerns regarding cloud computing from a legal standpoint is data ownership [1, p. 45]. There is currently no consensus on who should have legal ownership of data stored on cloud servers. The fact that many cloud service providers grant their clients extensive rights to their data in their agreements raises concerns over data access, usage, and modification. Unfortunately, customers lose some say
over their data when CSPs get all the power in
these agreements.
