How a cross-border transfer works

When something has to cross a border, here is exactly what moves, what does not, and on what lawful basis.

Move the proof, not the data

By default, a person's data stays in the country where it is stored. When a fact needs to be known elsewhere, Overturo moves the smallest possible proof of that fact — a verifiable claim, a tamper-proof receipt, or a minimized result — not the data itself.

What stays home

Personal data, consent records, credentials, and the audit trail stay in the person's country.

What crosses

A minimized, verifiable proof — and, when personal data genuinely must cross, it is recorded as a cross-border transfer with the lawful basis it relied on.

On what lawful basis

Every cross-border transfer of personal data is recorded with its lawful basis and kept in a tamper-proof transfer register you can export as verifiable evidence.
