Top Brake - putting information on websites etc that most people will never read will achieve absolutely nothing. If the Honeywell Police are really serious about this then they need to look seriously at how the products are marketed. My Evohome was sourced by my Installer. The software industry has a similar issue and it gets round it by security sealing all boxes with the printed caveat that breaking the seal constitutes acceptance of all Licence conditions. Perhaps you need to do the same, and include this message in your Registered Installer's training.
Personally, I would not hesitate to leave Evohome installed if I moved house. Furthermore, as I have not signed, or been asked to sign, any Licence conditions then the passing of any personal data by Honeywell to a 3rd party would, in my view, be in direct breach of the UK's Data Protection Act.
This Act sits above any European Law on the use of personal data. I suggest that this is an issue that you need to refer back to your legal team or to the UK ICO for advice.
