We believe that, in general, we can rely upon website owners' implied consent where websites have not taken steps to make their sites inaccessible generally, for example by excluding major search engines such as Google via robots.txt.

Again they just don't seem to get it.
If I visit an AIDS clinic it is a private matter. The clinic may be in the phone book, have an open door policy and it may well advertise it's services in a host of other ways. Once I interact with the clinic in any way both ends of the interaction become private and confidential. The fact that everyone knows where it is and what it does is completely irrelevant to the issue of confidentiality.
Why do they believe issues of confidentiality are any different because it is a website?
