Yes we have. We had our lawyer get us approved by the authorities to give out the information we do give out.
Not sure how that alters now we are in the EU, but our lawyer is looking into the new EU regulations and how they effect us.

I just spoke to the Information Commissioner here in the UK and we need explicit permission from the model to pass on her information. I've passed this on to the all the photographers we resell for.
This is under Principle 1 of the Data Protection Act 1998. As you are in the EU, then I imagine you will be subject to similar EU law (our Act is the result of an EU Directive). Industry norms are irrelevant, implicit consent is irrelevant. I'd be interested to know if the Czech Republic does not require explicit consent, since some of our photographers shoot over there and it would save them some hassle.
Incidentally, Paul, you perhaps should be getting permission since you sell to UK magazines still? A model could complain in the UK in that case.
