many national law enforcement agencies have rules 
on evidence sharing etc with other jurisdictions. 
I imagine these bilateral and multilateral 
agreements take careful consideration of human 
rights, not to violate those rights. (only 
example I can think of --and it's not a good 
one-- is many European countries won't extradite 
murder suspects to the US unless the prosecutor 
promises not to seek the death penalty.)

Do CERTS/CSIRTS, antispam orgs etc have the same concerns?  Do they care?
