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.
