The right to privacy is mentioned in the above. From
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?type=MOTION&reference=B7-2013-0342&language=EN
"whereas the US legal system does not ensure the protection of non-US
citizens, such as EU citizens; whereas, for instance, the protection
provided by the Fourth Amendment applies only to US citizens and not
to EU citizens or other non-US citizens;"
There aren't any villains in all this. There is a question of
whether the company taking the data will value each of its customers
equably when it comes to privacy. It doesn't seem so.
