The next question becomes....and what does this "trusted person" do with the information? If it is destroyed promptly, then there's really not much point; if it is retained, I'd like to see how this meets local and EU privacy policies.
Well I don't know about your EU but in ours we have a method called "collecting private data by agreement for a given purpose" and it is completely legal. If I say to you that you have to provide this and that private data if you want me to do this and that and I will collect your private data for that very purpose, and you agree, then I am legally allowed to collect and handle it. You have the right to disagree and leave the agreement and not to use the given service.
