FWIW I think Ts and Cs are of limited value unless you can detect
they're being broken and afford to pursue your supplier for recompense,
so I'd go for encryption.
I think Snowden's disclosures show that the OP is not being paranoid in
not wanting his data to pass to GCHQ nor being unreal about the
possibility of the content being misused. In the past some members of
the Surrey LUG list have hounded and ridiculed others off the list using
phrases like 'OMG' and 'Tin Hat', so on a LUG list an opinion like this
benefits from a bit of explanation (and ideally more considerate
phrasing).
