<p>"A company incorporated in the EU, even if it is owned by an entity in the US, is not subject to US jurisdiction and so that does not apply."<p>Incorrect, this is EXACTLY the scenario that the Cloud Act was introduced to to handle.<p>What happened is in 2013 Microsoft Ireland refused an FBI warrant for information held on EU servers, under the control of MS Ireland.<p>Microsoft USA refused the warrant on the grounds on the jurisdiction grounds you mentioned above.<p>So the Cloud Act was passed: US law for access to digital information applies to any subsidiary anywhere on earth.<p>Sorry.</p>

<p>You are incorrect:<p>1. the 2018 CLOUD Act mandates US companies — and their subsidiaries — to provide information to the US government on demand, regardless of where the data is stored<p>2. FISA secret courts prevent companies from even saying they where summoned, or telling anyone who or what the case was about (including canaries).<p>So you won't ever know if your data was handed over to the US government.</p>
