You can be American without having your company transfer all the personal information of people visiting your customers to America.

edit: but you can be required to by law. You're right.

No, you pretty much can't - not as an US-american company at least. That's what this problem is all about, and why the privacy shield deal between the US and the EU failed.

Oh, I see what you mean. Being American you can be required to bring that data back, no matter your preferred data processing setup. Right, apologies.

Google could trivially re-domicile to Ireland if they wanted to. Just do a reverse merger, and have the services within the US provided by Google LLC, which becomes a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited.
