Abstract

Using data retention policies in the public sector as a paradigm, the paper
reflects how States assert or defend their digital sovereignty. The article recalls the digitization
path of the Italian PA, on which big data has had a significant impact. Digital
data storage has imposed the transition from paper archives to the cloud, a transition
regulated by national and European legislation and partly influenced by the digital
strategies of the great world powers. The proliferation of localization obligations and
prohibitions confirms the complexity and centrality of these issues in protecting
digital sovereignty. The paper ends with an analysis of the key points of the European
strategy for data published by the European Commission in February 2020 and with a
look at the Franco-German data storage and data sharing project called GAIA-X.
