NOW TAKE A LOOK AT G7
By having our services installed in your home and/or by using them you consent to our transferring your information to countries which do not provide the same level of data protection as the UK if necessary for providing the services. If we do make such a transfer, we will put a contract in place to ensure your information is protected
now thats a worry

the UK's higher company management are responsible for having lots of 'dodgy' T&C (otherwise known as unlawful) clauses inserted into the consumer contracts , just because its stated in the T&C consumer contract ,doesnt make it absolute in UK law.
good faith, contractual equal rights as regards the consumer contracts is set in stone, as is mandated 'written notice' and the forms it must take to constitute said UK legal rules to protect and inform the UK consumer.
just as an example, this
"for so long as you are a customer and
for as long as is necessary for these specified purposes
after you terminate your services"
part of the clause, can be deemed unlawful and so the WHOLE clause becomes invalid under the unfair terms legislation for instance....
as i have already said, whoever drew up this latest T&C needs to be given their P45 or retreave the retainer , and VM (in this case) need to pay a real consumer contracts legal team to re-write them to the factual UK law thats fair, equal, and "in good faith" for both partys.....
just to be clear, there is no Uk law or statute that permits the retension of, processing of, or exporting to the 3rd party of YOUR data (never mind personal data) after a consumer contract has been terminated.
and thats before you even consider any seperate official DPA notices you may have instructed them to comply with.
the consumer contract is no longer in legal play, so
no clauses (to the companys favour) in that said contract can be deemed in force...Ever.
