Not for Europe. European privacy law is very simple: whenever you collect data, you have to tell what you collect it for and then you can only use it for that purpose. > I'm just guessing but the stream of legal news out of the EU and Canada makes me > personally shy away from trying to do any business "out there". The problem is that most 'news' does not even reference the legislation in debate. If they would just provide a 'read it yourself' link to the relevant directives it would make it so much more transparent. Just read http://europa.eu.int/comm/internal_market/privacy/docs/95-46-ce/dir1995-46_part2_en.pdf article 7 and you will see that whenever you need data "for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract" the processing is legitimate. How much easier would you want it?
