%X Personal valuable data is gathered on Earth and from outer space. Human activities in outer space generate enormous amounts of data, from satellite imagery and telemetry to scientific experiments. Considering the range of applications that space data can offer, there is a comparable variety in legal aspects connected to their use. This paper reviews the legal challenges when applying current laws to the use of space data. It examined and compared key legitimate and legal relationships between using space data and general data. Analyzing the intersection between the use of space data and general data, the study reveals critical issues regarding the legal basis of space data and finds a challenging threat to privacy and personal data from space data. This research contributes to the dispute by offering regulatory approaches to address the legal challenges.
