The recipient of the data is Google. In the case in which personal data is transferred to the USA, a transfer to Google in the USA as a third country is permitted under the GDPR in accordance with Articles 44, 45 GDPR, since there is an appropriate level of data protection protection for the USA in relation to this company.

On the basis of Article 25 paragraph 6 EU DatSchRL (1995) there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission in the form of the so-called EU-US Privacy Shield. The EU-US Privacy Shield is an international agreement between the United States and the European Union. This agreement regulates the protection of personal data that is transferred from a member state of the European Union to the USA. A self-certification process of the companies under the supervision of the US authorities ensures that only companies that observe data protection equivalent to the EU process personal data from the EU in the USA. Google has certified itself according to the requirements of the EU-US Privacy Shield. This provides an appropriate level of protection for the named recipient despite the lack of an adequacy decision by the EU Commission in accordance with Article 45 GDPR.
