My understanding of the more intricate parts of the DP Act is not very extensive, however; in my experience any organisation dealing with DPA outside of the EU has to adhere to one of two possible methods.

1] Seek customer approval
2] Satisfy the DPA via contractual requirements to reasonably protect customer data.

If a company selects route 2 (most do) I believe 1] A company does not have to ask your permission and 2] If they do deal outside the EU, there is nothing you can do about it if they have the correct legal measures in place.

Bottom line, you don't like services outside of the UK? Change provider. Good luck finding a telecommunications company, financial services company or other service orientated organisation that doesn't use India (or variants) at all.

In short, answering the OP's question - no, it cannot.
