<p><span style="font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Lucida Grande"">Unfortunately, in a world where the Internet of things is taking off, privacy advocates and authorities have to insist that data generated by or as a result of the actions of an individual or his
devices(eg metadata, timestamping, etc) has to be considered as personal information. If it is used to describe processes pertaining to that information, if it could be used to incriminate that individual, it is important that it be recognized as information
for which individuals have rights. Otherwise, we have a situation where the individual has no right to access information that may impact him, may incriminate him, but to which he may be utterly oblivious. Sorry it is such a pain in the neck, but there we
are.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
