Cross-border transfer mechanism
The legal basis (a contractual safeguard, an adequacy or equivalence finding, or explicit consent) under which some jurisdictions permit data to leave their borders. Distinct from residency: residency is a wall (data cannot move), a transfer mechanism is a gate (data may move only through a permitted door). Both determine where a model and its data may sit relative to each other.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Business AI Transformation.
