I imagine the same rules certainly apply in the other European countries and even the US has the term unlisted, which makes me believe the same rules apply there.
But this goes far further than a phonebook, only contains name, address and phone number. Online ones are restricted to only give you a phone number if you know a name and an approximate address. You cannot find the name of someone from an address or phone number, or find a phone number of an address without a name. This data is closer to census data.
