Data sovereignty
Answer in brief
Data sovereignty is the question of whose law can reach your data, which depends on the provider and its owners as well as on where the data sits.
Data sovereignty in practice
A machine in Europe run by a company based on another continent has European residency and a sovereignty question. Some buyers accept that and some make European ownership a condition.
To answer it, read which legal entity you contract with, which law governs the terms and who operates the facility. Location by itself does not settle it.
