Since its creation in 2018, the Cross-Border Data Forum (CBDF) has sought to promote and achieve four key goals:
The CBDF pursues these goals through the publication of scholarship and promotion of discussion around the creation, implementation, and reform of data transfers. Many of its publications have addressed issues concerning government access to data for law enforcement and national security purposes, such as the Budapest Convention 2d Additional Protocol, the EU E-Evidence Regulation, the EU/U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and the OECD Principles on Trusted Government Access to Data Held in the Private Sector, the United Nations Convention on Cybercrime, and the U.S. CLOUD Act. The CBDF has published articles on the intersection of cybersecurity and cross-border transfers, and has addressed topics touching on many parts of the world, including Africa, Australia, Brazil, China, the European Union, India, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
