Microsoft does not guarantee that EU data will never be passed on to the US government: Anton Carniaux, chief justice of Microsoft France, said at a hearing from the French Senate of Parliament. Specifically, it was about data that Microsoft received from the Union of Groupement D’Acht Publics (UGAP), the central procurement center of the public sector for schools, town halls and municipal administrations. When asked whether the group would never send its information to the US government without the express consent of the French authorities, Carniaux replied that he could not guarantee this under oath.
Search for information must be formally correct
However, he added that the situation had never occurred. Carniaux stated that Microsoft could only reject information requests from the United States if they are formally unfounded. Accordingly, Microsoft would check the validity of all inquiries very carefully-the US government could not ask any inquiries that are not precisely defined. In the case of correct inquiries, Microsoft must definitely comply with his obligation and pass on the requested data. The company also wants to inform the customers concerned about this, but must first ask the US authorities for a permit.
