Your Data Never Leaves the EU
US companies face €4.7B in GDPR fines—largely for cross-border data transfers. anonym.legal is hosted entirely in Germany with no US cloud providers, ensuring full Schrems II compliance and zero Cloud Act exposure.
The Cross-Border Data Problem
EU regulators have made clear: transferring personal data to US-based services creates significant legal risk. The Schrems II ruling invalidated Privacy Shield, and enforcement has only intensified.
- •US Cloud Act allows government access to data stored by US companies—anywhere in the world
- •Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) require case-by-case risk assessments
- •German data protection authorities (BfDI, LfDI) actively investigate US cloud usage
- •DSGVO (German GDPR) enforcement is among the strictest in the EU
