If it's like the current data retention scheme, then you will be 
individually notified, and answers to all the questions you ask will be 
explained. Part of the cost of all this is you spending several days, I 
would imagine, working out what it all means (in a practical and 
business sense). But I don't think folks like you will hear that knock 
on the door any time soon.
