Scenario A

The use case diagram depicts the following:

  • Organization A in Country B seeks consent from Individuals X (the data subjects).

  • Validation checks the consent and verifies compliance.

  • A precondition is validated based on Country B's regulations, which must be met before storing data in Region Y.

  • If the precondition is satisfied, the data can be stored in Region Y, which may be outside of Country B. This suggests that the data storage could occur in a different geographical region while still complying with Country B's legal requirements.

  • If the precondition fails, an Alternative Path is triggered, which may involve considering a different region or scenario that meets compliance requirements.
