This is an issue well beyond Brexit. Across all the nations of world right now the laws are such that it is easier for cash, an enterprise, and for personal information to have more freedom of movement than the actual people that own the cash, make the corporation, and have the right to their personal info.
That is why you see what you are seeing, instability and people fed up to have fewer rights than a cheque, or an inc. limited entity.
You have the wrong end of the stick. The EU has really strict data protection laws which I can tell you about in long and boring detail if you want. And because of this it is illegal to send people's data to other countries that do not have comparably strict laws. Canada and Argentina are allowed, the US is emphatically not. Therefore the UK needs to stick very close to the EU laws in the future or it will hobble businesses here.
