Depends on a variety of factors including which regulations are governing the data. Some privacy laws require such records can't leave the country in which they're obtained. Other records have strict rules about disposition or "destruction" of the record. It's a complex field and wide open with questions.

From courts to records managers/custodians everyone is still trying to understand those questions. In my experience, when in doubt, big business decides the safest legal answer is "probably not".
