Dave - legal matters are referred to the SFC. We did indeed work with them
in the past when we registered our trademark, and consulted with them
concerning an infringement case which was settled amicably.

Adding to Samuel's comment, the Council of Europe Treaty 108 is worth
looking at concerning data privacy, in particular the basic concept that
data cannot be exported to jurisdictions with weaker data protection (i.e.
the US and other countries).

There is a global association of data protection regulators called GPEN
(Global Privacy Enforcement Network), they do annual "sweeps" to check how
sites are handling personal data. Last year's sweep was focused on children
and adolescents:
