The CLOUD Act, which allows US law enforcement to use a warrant or subpoena to compel U.S.-based technology companies to provide data stored on servers regardless of where the data is located, was first introduced in the United States in 2018. Canada and the US recently announced plans to negotiate a Cloud Act agreement which would ease cross-border disclosures of data\xa0between the two countries.\nDavid Fraser is a lawyer with McInnes Cooper in Halifax and one of Canada\u2019s leading privacy experts. He regularly acts for clients on data disclosure matters and was one of the first to highlight the negotiations and its implications on his Youtube channel. He joins the Law Bytes podcast to talk about the Cloud Act, how it might fit into Canada\u2019s privacy law framework, and how Canada should approach the negotiations.\nThe podcast can be downloaded here, accessed on YouTube, and is embedded below.
