Googling for information on using SSL for security and complying with the data protection act is (a) very boring and (b) very difficult because you get zillions of people's privacy policies. All of the official stuff I have found so far is maddeningly unclear, and even my bank just says "Yes, we use SSL, it's the industry standard."

Yeah, that's cool. The thing is that both me and usually the person I am talking to knows that there are no data protection issues here - we're tranferring information online which is already transferred through other media and we're securing that transmission with 128bit ssl. The thing is we need something to show to the users that they understand so they don't get their tiny knickers in a twist.

Ah, I see. Tricky. I would just quote that section to them and say 'in accordance with section blah blah we secure the transmission with 128 bit SSL'.
