I think you'll find that it's not free from EU regulation if you are a UK

business, I believe that the new data protection rules 'discourage' European

businesses from exporting data.  Check out e-tradlaw.co.uk  Graham Ross who

runs that site put up a summary at one time.

Whatever, the lega;lities, one has to ask, as a possible prospective

customer, why any legitimate UK business want to put my data on a server

outside what they felt is UK legislation. There is enough lack of confidence

around among prospective UK internet users without adding 'your data will be

held in a part of the world which gives you no rights over how it is to be

used'
