Thus, there is no knowledge of the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored, to what extent the networks comply with existing deletion obligations, what evaluations and links are made with the data and to whom the data is passed on.
Due to the fact that some of the companies are providers outside the European Union with a European branch only in Ireland, they are not bound by European and German data protection regulations according to their own reading.
