This applies to you processing the personal data, but not you transferring it to an American provider, which is entirely illegal even if necessary for the operation of your service.

The "trans-atlantic data privacy framework" can't come soon enough to finally end this farce. In the mean time, it seems like the most useful thing to do is just ignore all this.

Ain't nobody got time for all this uncertainty. And chance of any of these regulators suddenly caring about your particular company before it's solved for good is quite low.

At worst unlawful, not illegal, but even then, there's subtlety. Most transfers to the US rely on Standard Contractual Clauses, which are being invalidated, but on a case-by-case basis.


No, using an american service provider is not illegal. However, feel free to ignore all this, be one more line in https://www.enforcementtracker.com/, it brings europeans great joy.
