6. Danger notice

Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA. For the USA, there is no adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR before. We would like to point out that data transfer without an adequacy decision involves certain risks, which we would like to inform you about below:
U.S. intelligence agencies take certain online identifiers (such as IP address or unique identification numbers) as a starting point for monitoring individuals. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these news services have already collected information about you, with the help of which the data transmitted here can be traced back to you.

Providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the United States are subject to monitoring by U.S. intelligence agencies pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a (“FISA 702”). Accordingly, electronic communications service providers headquartered in the U.S. have an obligation to provide personal information to U.S. authorities pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a, with no possible recourse available to you. Even encryption of data at the electronic communications service provider’s data centers may not provide adequate protection because an electronic communications service provider has a direct obligation with respect to imported data in its possession or custody or under its control to provide access to or surrender such data. This obligation may explicitly extend to the cryptographic keys without which the data cannot be read.

The fact that this is not merely a “theoretical risk” is demonstrated by the ECJ’s judgment of July 16, 2020 (Case C 311/18, ,,Schrems-II”).

We have entered into guarantees with Google in the form of standard data protection clauses in accordance with. Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR completed. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us.

This privacy policy was created with the support of DataGuard.
