1. An apparatus comprising:
interface circuitry;
machine-readable instructions; and
at least one processor circuit to be programmed by the machine-readable instructions to:
determine that a first data object is restricted to a geographic boundary based on a first geographic boundary label associated with the first data object;
determine that a request to access the first data object will cause the first data object to cross the geographic boundary;
extract a sub-part of the first data object based on the sub-part of the first data object not being subject to the geographic boundary;
create a second data object based on the sub-part of the first data object;
generate a second geographic boundary label associated with the second data object; and
grant, based on the second geographic boundary label, access to the second data object across the geographic boundary, the second geographic boundary label to travel in a data flow with the second data object.
