Data Protection wouldn't cover this. They're keeping the data securely, and you have personal access to it. Data Protection doesn't stipulate that you must be able to easily export your data to rival services, I'm afraid.

If the data disappears from the page, how do you have personal access to it?

If it's still on their servers, to comply with the act they'd need to provide access to your information within 40 calendar days for a charge no greater than £10.
