    This has been discussed a lot in Europe lately (as you can imagine).<br>
    <br>
    Thing is: Google will send out some updated T&C or similar,
    where you need to click accept in order to continue to use their
    service, agreeing to let Google store data in the US which can be
    inspected by the US government.<br>
    Given that most people AND companies do actually not care about
    their data (especially the small and very small or individual
    businesses who make up a huge chunk of users) they will just click
    ok, and rather keep using the service, than look after their data.
    Many users won't even read this new T&C's as they never do, and
    simply accept.<br>
    <br>
    So in the End it's a bit of work for Google, they might lose a
    handful of customers, but overall nothing changes.<br>
    <br>
    That's my 2c.<br>
    <br>
    Question is: should you as provider (or facilitator) of those
    services explicitly tell your customers?<br>
    <br>
    Cheers,<br>

          <p><span>Hello</span><span> Google Cloud Platform Customer,</span></p>
          <p><span>The recent ruling by the Court of Justice of the
              European Union (CJEU) declaring the European Commission’s
              decision on US-EU Safe Harbor framework to be invalid is
              an important development in the area of data pr</span><span>otection.

               </span><span>You</span><span> can expect our full support
              as we work together to address this development, as t</span><span>here
              is nothing more important to us than your trust, privacy
              and security.</span><span> W</span><span>e are</span><span> awaiting
              more information from the European Commission (EC) and
              data protection authorities regarding their responses to</span>
            <span>the court decision</span><span>.</span></p>
          <p><span>The European Commission and the US have been actively
              working on a revised Safe Harbor agreement that should
              address these concerns, but they were unable to finalize
              the new agreement prior to the court ruling. Both have
              indicated that they want to finalize the new Safe Harbor
              framework as soon as possible. Additionally, we have been
              actively working on adopting</span> <span>Model Contract
              Clauses</span><span> (MCCs) for the transfer of</span><span> personal
              data from the EU to the US</span><span>.  We already have
              MCCs as an option</span><span> </span><span>for Google
              Apps for Work customers, and in light of the ruling, we
              are accelerating our MCC efforts for Google Cloud
              Platform.</span></p>
          <p><span>We will update you in the coming weeks on further
              developments in this area. We appreciate you placing your
              trust in us.</span></p>
