Britain has traditionally been buddy buddy with us on things like this.

For instance, the NSA is prohibited from intercepting American phonecalls, and GCHQ (British NSA) is prohibited from intercepting British phone calls. So what they do is they intercept each other's phone calls and trade data

Britain usually is ok with it because for the most part, these things benefit (the people in charge of the government of) Britain as well.
