The article examines jurisdictional conflicts arising in the cross-border collection of digital evidence stored or processed within cloud infrastructure. The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that electronic evidence has effectively become a permanent element of criminal proceedings: according to estimates, cross-border access to electronic evidence is required in a significant proportion of criminal investigations, while a substantial share of requests is addressed to providers located in another jurisdiction [1]. The problem is further complicated by the fact that cloud data do not always have a stable territorial localization: they may be replicated, fragmented, transferred between data centers, and remain under the technical control of a provider legally registered in a third state. Under these conditions, the classical categories of territorial jurisdiction, mutual legal assistance, admissibility of evidence, and personal data protection require reconsideration. The purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative legal analysis of contemporary models of access to cloud data: the traditional mechanism of mutual legal assistance, the American CLOUD Act model, the European e-Evidence model, the mechanisms of the Budapest Convention and its Second Additional Protocol, as well as the new 2024 UN Convention against Cybercrime. The methodological basis of the research consists of comparative legal, formal legal, systemic, and technical-legal methods. The article concludes that an optimal model of cross-border access to cloud data cannot be built exclusively either on extraterritorial compulsion or on slow diplomatic procedures alone. The most promising approach is a hybrid one, combining urgent data preservation, judicially authorized access, differentiation of data categories, a verifiable chain of custody, minimum standards for the protection of human rights, and institutionalized cooperation with providers.
