"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' access to documents is potentially shared with US authorities due to reliance on US-based technology. The CLOUD Act allows US access to German data stored in the US or by US companies. ZenDis aims to reduce this dependency by developing alternatives to US products. Lutz Niemeyer emphasizes the need for the state to protect citizens' data. The case of Nicolas Guillou highlights risks for individuals who oppose US interests, as seen with sanctions affecting his access to US services.
