Alarmingly, within the U.K there seems to be a an apathetic attitude towards the accessing of sensitive data by US authorities, many companies are entrusting their data to free services such as Dropbox despite the risk of prosecution under the Data Protection Act should it be proved that Clients information was accessed without permission – even if the 3rd party was the U.S government (yes UK companies are entrusting YOUR data to FREE U.S services! – perhaps you may want to ask how your data is handled before engaging with new companies! )
