We hit exactly this problem. The legal advice we got was explicit: EU companies can not host any personal data with Heroku as it stands. There are two potential solutions:
1. Heroku could sign up to Safe Harbor. 2. They could offer EU based servers. When I spoke to them about this last year they were hoping to be signed up to Safe Harbor by the end of 2011, but they missed this and I've been given no new date that they are aiming for. In the end we had to move to Engine Yard (who are both Safe Harbor compliant and offer EU servers) and this is working out pretty well for us. But we would love the option to come back to Heroku.
