This is a funny thing. We all say we have rights in this country but we never defend them. This is a generalization or broad brush strokes but it is up to us to defend our rights.
This is where British common law comes in or common law. That is what we operate under. This is our founding law and becuse of this we are the luckiest bunch of saps in the world. So it is you who must claim your rights. This means to let them be known or made public. As long as your rights do not interfere with another person you are good. But you will still need to defend them.
So in general terms. Conditionally accept what they ask upon proof that they are acting lawfully. Are they in the right to ask for this information? If they can produce such information, upon your request, then show them. Don't be a turd about it. Just ask them. If they are difficult write an notice and conditional acceptance offer. Sound odd but is the best way to do it IMO. You are not saying "no" but putting the ball in their court to act lawfully.
