Re: Falling at the last fence
Thanks for that (I checked, it is indeed in the US, so outside EU territory) - time to have a chat with ye olde Office of the Information Commissioner.
Given that this information occasionally isn't just classed private but even sensitive (if a crime is under investigation), there is legally a problem with exporting that to a US based entity. Methinks that it's going to be quite fun to light a fuse under that idea. If they keep that data in the UK I think that is OK-ish (also because you then have at least a legal grip on someone if they make mistakes - ever tried suing someone in the US from the UK?).
Update: had a chat with them - best file concerns electronically (with source), it's easier for them if you file this so they have a record.
