Anyone up on German data protection legislation? What exists in German DP law to prevent the transfer of a customer's personal data to another EU member country or to prevent access to data held in German from a parent company based in another EU state? I cannot find anything in the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) or the Telecom Act (TKG) that prevents this?
