All interesting stuff!

That's fascinating. I'm getting much the same result with the Home Office. My FOI is currently under 'internal review' at the Home Office.

Simple questions to answer. Who asked for advice, when did they ask for it, what was the request & reply. Why should that be difficult to answer?

Regards the ICO response, they just don't seem to 'get it'. You can't guarantee to me you can anonymise a block of data from the internet, its not possible. Your web traffic is personal data; BT/Phorm processed it, QED. And how do they decide there was no privacy risk without a critical analysis of the evidence of leaking profile information in forums and blogs.

ICO shouldn't be dabbling in stuff they don't understand. They need to hire independent expertise if they don't understand the internet. They are hopeless, absolutely incompetent to be regulating BT/Phorm.
