"All data stored in US databases is potentially at risk, said Lutz Niemeyer, spokesperson for ZenDiS, which is a limited liability company wholly owned by the German government. He added that the state had a duty to ensure that crucial data entrusted to it by its citizens is kept secure."
"The act allows the US government to access German data by decree or executive order if it is stored in a data facility in the US. This also applies to data that is stored in other countries, if servers are owned by US companies or their subsidiaries."
German authorities' documents are accessible to US authorities due to the CLOUD Act, which allows US government access to data stored by US companies. Data protection advocates express concern over Germany's reliance on US technology. ZenDis aims to develop alternatives to reduce this dependency. Lutz Niemeyer emphasizes the need for secure data management. The case of Nicolas Guillou highlights the consequences of US sanctions, affecting individuals' access to services and financial accounts, illustrating the broader implications of US influence on global data security.
