12.6 Hazard statement
Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA. For the USA there is no adequacy decision under Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR. We would like to point out to you that a data transfer without the existence of an adequacy decision carries certain risks, about which we may inform you below: U.S. intelligence services use certain online identifiers (such as the IP address or unique identifiers) 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. Electronic communications service providers headquartered in the United States are subject to surveillance by U.S. intelligence services pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a (“FISA 702”). Accordingly, electronic communications service providers based in the United States have an obligation to provide personal information to the U.S. authorities in accordance with 50 U.S. Code § 1881a without you possibly having redress. Even encryption of the data in the data centers of the electronic communications service provider cannot provide adequate protection, since a provider of electronic communications services has a direct obligation to grant access to or provide access to the imported data in its possession or custody or under its control. This obligation may expressly extend to cryptographic keys, without which the data cannot be read. The fact that this is not merely a “theoretical danger” is shown by the ECJ’s judgment of 16 July 2020 (Case No. C 311/18, “Schrems-II”). With Google, we have guarantees in the form of standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. Art. 46 para. 2 lit. (c) GDPR. a copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us.
