Which regulation would those be? The GDPR and similar laws explicitly exclude state intelligence agencies and the like.

Spain can assume the US has sufficient resources to know anything it cares to anyway, and Spain doesn't have an empire spanning the globe. The US does. One party has a lot more to lose by revealing everything.

It certainly does carry on. Same in France.
