If you are still targeting european markets, I'd follow Cetins hints.
Probably your app does not attract NSA, Russian, Chinese or Korean hackers, but if it is hacked and personal data decrypted you might face ugly court action. Less damage pay compared to US courts, but danger of a domino of courts in EU countries jumping on results of earlier judgement.
