After spending over an hour filling out several personal information forms including home address, bank account and passport information I see this:

No I'm bloody well not happy, but what choice do I have?

I had concerns years ago when passports had to be scanned and sent around the world - I brought a new one and send a scan of the cancelled passport. Small cost to pay for peace of mind - so far got away with it as a business expense.

When I read that clause about 3 years ago, I insisted they add that my data be controlled under the laws of UK DPA regardless of where it went. They obliged as the client had struggled for months to fill the contract.

You could always contact 'James Cahn' or whatever his real name is and declare yourself 'out'

You have no choice if you want the contract.
