The company that operates mediaCastpro. is an Italian company (netMtech srl) which as such is required to apply the GDPR, i.e. EU Regulation 2016/679. This regulation stipulates that collected personal data can be transmitted to non-EU countries without explicit consent of the user only if there is an adequacy decision of the European Commission for the country in question or adequate safeguards as per Articles 45 and 46 of the GDPR. While adequacy decisions from the European Commission exist for the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and several other countries, this is not true for the United States, for which explicit user consent must therefore be obtained.
