ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

EU, UK, and other non-US users' data is transferred to the United States where data protection standards differ from those in the EU, and Epic relies on Standard Contractual Clauses and other transfer mechanisms to legitimize these transfers.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

If you are in the EU, UK, or another jurisdiction with strong data protection laws, your personal data is transferred to the US and other countries with potentially lower privacy standards, governed by contractual safeguards that are subject to challenge.
