I live in the EU and the company I work at has been bought out by an american company. They now want me to sign a document that lets them transfer my personal data from my employer to the USA. They want my Name, full address and birthday. It says that they need this for some “compliance regulation” which includes the prevention of terrorism (the ol’ classic). I feel uncomfortable giving them “explicit permission” to share this data even if it is done under “highest possible security measures” which, if they are not possible, might as well be none. I just started my apprenticeship, so they could fire me without providing a reason if I do not sign. Any help is well appreciated.

    Asking for info: What’s you specific concern regarding this information? Is it that data is accessible in the USA, you don’t trust the company?

      Data accessibility in the US. I am sharing my data with the US government. I am just quite unsure of that.

        Everything they’re asking for is pretty typical for the IRS (and probably a handful of other workplace-related departments). If you’re really that uncomfortable giving them less information than is required to get a driver’s license, then I think you know what your only choice is.
