We work with Charities ... we have privacy laws or requirements in Canada .... What is the impact of Charities that house their data with a US company that resides on US soil? We understand through a client of ours that any data that resides in the US is subject to scrutiny at the whim of the US government and they feel no obligation to inform the organization who's data is being reviewed.
This is my question:If a charity houses its data in the US using a US provider, is it the fiduciary duty of the charity to inform their donors that they can no longer give a 100% guarantee of confidentiality?
Thank you for consideration in responding to my question.
