However, for at least one issue, the European data Protection law comes into play in significant ways. I recommend the presentation from last SAAG. In particular I recommend focusing on the part of that presentation about consent. There are significant limitations to consent especially when someone must consent to do their job. So, from what I know about European law, I'd have significant concerns about whether the note-well is sufficient for John's purpose.
