1) Does this apply to data collected by companies located worldwide or does this only apply to European based organizations (or organizations with a presence in Europe)
2) Does this protect U.S. citizens data if the data can be viewed / used in Europe?

3) How does this new data privacy law compare to U.S. data privacy laws? Where is there overlap? Where are there deficiencies in either?
