of the Cloud Act, it has major implications for our digital data. The legislation has been in effect since 2018 and affects anyone who, as a private individual or as a company, has processed or stored data in a cloud offered by a US company. <\/p><p>The law passed by the United States forces US cloud providers such as Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, or Dropbox to make data stored in the cloud accessible to US authorities upon request. <strong>It therefore effectively overrides the GDPR regulations.<\/strong> In short: <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/CLOUD_Act\">Data in US clouds is generally accessible to American authorities.<\/a> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0ed03fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0ed03fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Using US servers?

A US company with servers located in the EU is obliged to <strong>grant US authorities access to the servers, even though the GDPR prohibits it<\/strong>. It is therefore to be feared that data processed or stored in the cloud can be retrieved or searched.   <\/p><p>However, the protection of personal information is only one half of the problem. The other is the question of <a href=\"https:\/\/firstcolo.net\/en\/digital-sovereignty-european-cloud-solutions-as-first-choice\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data sovereignty<\/a>.
