The "Due Diligence" document

  https://www.ripe.net/publications/docs/ripe-748#5--confidentiality-and-privacy-issues

also contains a small section on this, together with a link to
the RIPE privacy statement

  https://www.ripe.net/about-us/legal/ripe-ncc-privacy-statement

Further, AFAIK any "business data" that relates to a natural person
is additionally covered by GDPR, i.e. those rules are already codified
in law.
