Sharing European data is only allowed if the other country has privacy laws that are “almost” the same as those in the EU. That’s not to say that the US doesn’t have privacy protections but they are far lesser as compared to the EU. This means that EU users don’t know if their data is being collected or how it is being used or who it is being shared with. In a statement, CNIL remarked, The operator of the website in question has been given a month to comply by only sharing anonymous statistics, or “if necessary, to stop using this service under the current conditions.” The CNIL says it has also ordered other website operators in France to follow the same trajectory.
