The Data Protection Directive (officially Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data) is a European Union directive adopted in 1995 which regulates the processing of personal data within the European Union. It is an important component of EU privacy and human rights law.

Daily backups which are rolled over are made by the servicer hosting Elsmar.com, however as far as I can tell data protection isn't an issue here because the only "data" which Elsmar has is email addresses. Nor does Elsmar share, sell or otherwise communicate any use email addresses in any way. Nor does Elsmar send promotional or other related types of emails. Nor is any "data" on any registered visitor "processed" since there is no personal data unless a person makes entries in their profile.

I made the post as a general "statement", however from what I have read data protection here is sufficient since only email addresses are involved. Were the sever to be breached, and someone got a list of email addresses, it wouldn't have much value.
