Legislative summary
European Union Directive on Data Protection (Directive 1995/46/EC) protects the fundamental rights of European Union citizens to privacy with respect to the processing of personal data. The primary focus of the Directive is on the acceptable use and protection of personal data. Like all other European Union privacy legislation, this Directive also requires that personal data be collected, stored, changed or disseminated only with a citizen’s express consent and with full disclosure as to the use of the data. The Directive also prohibits the transfer of personal data from European organizations to non-European Union nations and organizations that do not adequately protect the safety and privacy of personal data. The United States has developed a Safe Harbor framework for U.S. organizations that are required to comply with this Directive.
