I live in the EU and the company I work at has been bought out by an american company. They now want me to sign a document that lets them transfer my personal data from my employer to the USA. They want my Name, full address and birthday. It says that they need this for some “compliance regulation” which includes the prevention of terrorism (the ol’ classic). I feel uncomfortable giving them “explicit permission” to share this data even if it is done under “highest possible security measures” which, if they are not possible, might as well be none. I just started my apprenticeship, so they could fire me without providing a reason if I do not sign. Any help is well appreciated.

    You could always just not do it any say nothing. It might just get forgotten, though more likely that eventually your manager will explicitly ask you to do it and they might have reasonable grounds for dismissal if you explicitly refuse. As others have said it’s probably not the worst thing in the world compared to your job!
