    Merkblatt Online Speicherdienste 1 Einleitung Online Speicher, oft auch Online Storage, Cloud Speicher oder Cloud Storage ge- nannt, bieten Anwendern die Möglichkeit, Daten im Internet respektive in einer so- genannten Cloud aufzubewahren und unabhängig von ihrem Aufenthaltsort darauf zuzugreifen. Die Nutzung von «Cloud-basierten» Online Speicherdiensten wie zum Beispiel Dropbox, CloudMe, TeamDrive, Microsoft OneDrive oder Google Drive ist einfach, führt aber zu erhöhten Risiken betreffend Verletzungen der datenschutzrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen und damit zusammenhängend Verletzungen der Persönlich- keitsrechte. Diese sind bei einer Evaluation und Nutzung zu berücksichtigen. Dieses Merkblatt enthält eine Übersicht der wichtigsten datenschutzrechtlichen An- forderungen inklusive einer diesbezüglichen Analyse einer Auswahl der bekanntes- ten Anbieter von solchen Online Speichern. 2 Rechtliche Voraussetzungen Die Nutzung eines «Cloud-basierten» Online Speichers ist eine Auslagerung der Datenbearbeitung i.S.v. § 6 IDG. Die entsprechenden Voraussetzungen des § 6 IDG sowie des konkretisierenden § 25 IDV müssen geprüft und umgesetzt werden. Vor- ab anzumerken ist, dass das öffentliche Organ für die Bearbeitung der Informatio- nen bei der Nutzung solcher Online Speicher verantwortlich bleibt. Bevor ein «Cloud-basierter» Online Speicher genutzt werden kann, ist als erstes die Frage zu beantworten, ob die Datenbearbeitung ausgelagert werden darf, das heisst insbesondere, ob einer Auslagerung Geheimnispflichten entgegenstehen (bei- spielsweise

    IN THE COMMON PLEAS COURT DELAWARE COUNTY, OHIO CIVIL DIVISION STATE OF OHIO ex rel. DAVE YOST, OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL, Case No. 21 CV H________________ 30 East Broad St. Columbus, OH 43215 Plaintiff, JUDGE ___________________ v. GOOGLE LLC 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway COMPLAINT FOR Mountain View, CA 94043 DECLARATORY JUDGMENT AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF Also Serve: Google LLC c/o Corporation Service Co. 50 W.

Plaintiff, the State of Ohio, by and through its Attorney General, Dave Yost, (hereinafter “Ohio” or “the State”), upon personal knowledge as to its own acts and beliefs, and upon information and belief as to all matters based upon the investigation by counsel, brings this action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief against Google LLC (“Google” or “Defendant”), alleges as follows: I. INTRODUCTION The vast majority of Ohioans use the internet. And nearly all of those who do use Google Search. Google is so ubiquitous that its name has become a verb. A person does not have to sign a contract, buy a specific device, or pay a fee to use Good Search. Google provides its CLERK OF COURTS - DELAWARE COUNTY, OH - COMMON PLEAS COURT 21 CV H 06 0274 - SCHUCK, JAMES P. FILED: 06/08/2021 09:05 AM search services indiscriminately to the public. To use Google Search, all you have to do is type, click and wait. Primarily, users seek “organic search results”, which, per Google’s website, “[a] free listing in Google Search that appears because it's relevant to someone’s search terms.” In lieu of charging a fee, Google collects user data, which it monetizes in various ways—primarily via selling targeted advertisements.
