The US government is correcting its rules on who can access sensitive personal data

The Justice Department published a final rule in January 2025, restricting certain data transactions with specific countries or people. This document corrects a minor cross-reference error in that rule. It does not change the substance of the restrictions.

This document is a technical correction to a larger rule. The original rule aims to prevent foreign adversaries from accessing sensitive US personal data and government-related data. These kinds of rules are part of a broader effort to control data flows across borders, especially concerning national security.
