Roles like controllers and processors define obligations and remedies, ensuring secure and lawful data handling. Based on the analysis of the European Union perspective on the aforementioned aspects, the paper provides implications for Vietnam in addressing the regulatory gaps regarding data-related laws in general and data transmission in particular.
