Hello Google Cloud Platform Customer,

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 protection.
You can expect our full support as we work together to address this
development, as there is nothing more important to us than your trust,
privacy and security. We are awaiting more information from the European
Commission (EC) and data protection authorities regarding their
responses to the
court decision.

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 Model
Contract Clauses (MCCs) for the transfer of personal data from the EU to
the US.  We already have MCCs as an option for Google Apps for Work
customers, and in light of the ruling, we are accelerating our MCC efforts
for Google Cloud Platform.

We will update you in the coming weeks on further developments in this
area. We appreciate you placing your trust in us.
