We are considering buying some software from a company in the States which 
would hold personal data for us.

The company doesn't seem to be registered with the Safe Harbor Arrangement, 
and anyway, even if it was, would the US Patriot Act over-ride this?

If anyone has any knowledge of this Act, and a view on the matter, I would 
be grateful.
Regards
Lucy
