Yup, essentially the same as the UK Data Protection stuff:
*) Tell people what data you're collecting
*) Tell people why you're collecting each piece
*) Tell them what you're doing to do with it
*) Give them a right of access to data that's held

And make sure that you follow the principles that data is:
* fairly and lawfully processed; 
*	processed for limited purposes; 
*	adequate, relevant and not excessive; 
*	accurate; 
*	not kept longer than necessary; 
*	processed in accordance with the data subject's rights; 
*	secure; 

Cheers
Martin
