How is this compatible with European privacy laws? Wouldn't this mean European customers would be able to sue those companies over violation of this laws?

I think this should be regulated by the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Safe_Harbor_Priv... , basically US companies must certify themselves by the stricter EU laws... But I'm not sure if this is mandatory.

European privacy laws vary greatly. Even within the EU (which only covers half Europe's population) privacy laws vary a lot.

Yet there are some universal EU privacy rules.
