The E.U. has been at the forefront of global data privacy since 1995. The EU Data Protection Directive 95/46/EC (the Directive) and national legislation implemented in E.U. Member States, like the UK Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), provide broad definitions of "Personal Data" and who is deemed to be a "Data Controller," ensuring that virtually all background due diligence companies and their clients, such as banks, pension funds, hedge funds and consultants, are caught in the net of the E.U. data privacy laws.
