Other Outcome
Filed: Closed: (2 years 3 months)

This is one of noyb 101 complaints which were filed after the "Schrems II" judgement in Summer 2020. The judgement invalidated the EU-US data transfer mechanism "Privacy Shield". The cases were generated based on implemented Google Analytics or Facebook tracking code on websites by EU providers, which leads to unlawful data transfers to the United States.

Protocol
Data Summary
30.11.2022
Email echange with Norwegian and Austrian DPA

noyb emphasizes that we never withdrew the complaint, as we told the DSB multiple times - which the DSB seems to have failed to communicate to the Nor DPA. Also, noyb asks the Nor DPA multiple times if they also investigated the data importer Meta Platforms Inc in the USA. The DPA dodged the question by repeating that Meta Platform Ireland (who are not the data importer!) has stated to have deleted the transferred data.
