Protection of intellectual propertyd. Cultural requirements for adaptatione. Language translation barriers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is: b. Control on transborder data flows.

Explanation:

Control on transborder data flows was the barrier that probably affected Godcare services in the scenario above.

The insurance company had this barrier of control of transborder data when expanding its business to Asian countries with stricter regulations on the transfer of customer data.

Generally, these government restrictions arise to protect against possible abuses and invasions of privacy, which meant that the company needed the approval of each customer to share their personal information with its branches in other countries.
