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.
