In your example, the US court is ordering you to request the documents. There's no question that the US court has jurisdiction over you.
What about this variation over your example: instead of contacting you, the US court bypasses you and asks directly the European storage company. This is much more questionable, since a US court shouldn't have jurisdiction over an European company.
- DuskStar 8y agoFunnily enough, in the GDPR equivalent (you, a EU resident, hire a company in the US to store a box for you) the EU bypasses you and requires the storage company to have an effective security guard and fire suppression system...
- ionised 8y agoThe difference is that in this case the US considers itself the owner of all data on US and Eu citizens alike. The EU merely says that you cannot store Eu citizens data without the necessary safeguards in place and permissions asked. This is a very different issue in my view. The US has an inflated sense of entitlement, whereas the EU is being protective and inhibiting of data collection on its citizens by foreign organisations.
