Which determines regulation and liability.

The PP is GDPR compliant in parts, which it has to be in order to target the European market. But it doesn't apply to the full EU standards (just as an example: '(...)19.7 gamigo is not willing to participate in such an out-of-court settlement of Disputes arising from contracts with our customers, not even under the VSBG (Consumer Dispute Settlement Act)(...)').
And storing data on US servers can never be privacy shield compliant as ruled by the court of justice of the European union.

The debate is mute though, neither of us is going to be convinced by the other one, you're even going to come up with verifiable false information claiming that '(...)Gamigo Us Inc is a German company(...)' in order to justify Gamigo's moves.

@spoletta said in gamigo Data Transfer:

(...)Gamigo Us Inc is a German company, not an US one despite the name(...)

The blog post specifically links to trionworlds.
Gamigo US Inc. is an US based (Austin/Redwood City) company and a subsidiary to the German based Gamigo (Group), but, since it is a subsidiary and not a division, it is a distinct legal entity for the purposes of taxation, regulation and liability.

(...)the data is still in EU(...)

Right now, before the move, yes, it is. But after the move, as far as the information available to the public, there's no concrete statement where the data is going to be. But the ToS and PP linked in the blog post are for the US based subsidiary that states: '(...)IT-experts ensure player data protection and maintain our US-servers(...)'[²]. I'd consider that a strong hint when signing the ToS and PP agreement.

A blog/dev/feature news isn't a forum post.

(...)US, as long as they are protected by the same EU laws(...)

Data on an US server can never be protected by the 'same EU law', due to US law, even the European Court decided that way.

If your PR team needs to read through your public news posting to know what's planned for the game, you're already showing horrible cooperation with them as a software company. There's design documents, roadmaps with milestones, management tools the industry uses for that and with good reason.

That said, if you read through my posting carefully you're going to notice that I mentioned they could simply link to the old posting, provide a short update ('what changed') in the new post and actually new information (e.g. a quick 'what to be expected in the upcoming test).
That way you have all the information available for the 'new customer', additional value for 'old customers' and you avoid the image of 'simply recycling to appear busy, because that was promised as additional value'.

(...)Since we just received a lot of new players, it was probably time to update it and make it visible again.

Since they 'gained so much manpower' and we're to 'expect a lot of blog postings', wouldn't it make more sense to just link to the old article in a new one and describe what's to be expected in the first few iterations of tests for both? Like, you know, actual... new stuff, instead of a blunt 'rebrand' to appear producing new content.
That'd serve the same purpose of 'updating it and making it visible again', but with additional value for people who've been with the project before. You know, the ones that are skeptical on the value added by Gamigo. The ones that have supported and backed Dynamight Studios early on.

Is there a specific reason why you're taking a nearly 4 years news post, edit is slightly, repost it and delete the old one?
