The gist of the actions by the NSA and the Chimp in Charge should
allow to you ascertain the obvious answer. One, the US government
has no respect for its citizens' privacy so what makes you think it
cares about the privacies of those in other countries.

One of the problems with the US at this current point in time, is
there is a revolving scenario being spoon fed to the public and
this is being used to justify the actions of the idiots in office.
This is called "The War on Terror". Far too many people are quick
to cower and believe whatever mass media crapaganda is being shown
on television, and while this occurs, those in power jump on the
opportunities to sneak in low blow, sucker punch crimes in hopes
they go unnoticed. It happened with the CIA and their torture
prisons, the Chimp in Charge stepping on civil liberties, you name
it, this administration is doing it.

So to answer your question, if it passed through any form of
electronic communication, chances are ECHELON got a hold of it.
Don't like it, don't use electronic communications, or use various
types of encryption. Bottom line.
