Fathom's script forgets everybody by default, it's literally built into the tech. No EU personal data is touching Canada.

The background of Schrems II was that the US government can compel US companies to track foreign nationals and it would be lawful under US law. This is where the argument of "company in X under Y laws" comes into play. For example, Amazon is a US company. An EU subsidiary is still subject to it's parents control. If that parent is a US company, it's subject to US surveillance laws. Hello Schrems II.

So I'm not fully following why we're having a discussion around processing happening in Canada when personal data (IP Address) hits our EU Isolation infrastructure.

If you have any sources you can cite where the European Commission states BC as an exemption to Canada's adequacy ruling, please throw it back to me. I've not seen that.
