Non UK/EU companies procurement.

Hello all.

Renewing one of our anual maintenance contracts, I realized the provider has changed the details and is not a UK based company anymore (it is USA base if that helps).
I guess my questions are more lawsuit kind, but...

Will that have an implication on us as school? I guess Distant selling regulations won't be applied since it is not UK/EU based company. I am also concern about privacy options, will they be allowed to pass our details to others? Last think I want is to have more emails from providers trying to sell me stuff.

Kind regards.
