Data Protection Directive
The Data Protection Directive is a directive adopted by the European Union that was designed to protect the privacy of all personal data collected for or about EU citizens, especially as it relates to processing, using or exchanging that data. Similar to Safe Harbor in the U.S., Data Protection Directive makes recommendations based on seven principles: Notice, purpose, consent, security, disclosure, access and accountability. According to Analysys Mason, about 8 percent of cloud service providers adhere to the Data Protection Directive.
