Why unable to communicate? Is there any reason why the relevant non-EU customer data cannot be stored within the EU as well?

If someone in the US visits a profile page of someone in the EU, that necessitates a transfer of data outside of the EU.

Perhaps that's an extreme and pedantic example though.
