People have to take a further step to really find out. Mr. Malcolm is saying that people have Google Account, but if they want to find further information on what Google knows, they have to fill in a separate form, a subject access request form. It is not that easy. People's concerns are around the data and how it is used, and that is the reason Google and Apple are here before us today. The concerns are about people's privacy and safety online, and how their data is being used. If there is an understanding about it, some people may be very happy to give the information but when they have to start going through hoops to find out exactly what Google knows about them, that raises concerns for them. I will go back to my original question. Does Mr. Malcolm believe I have a right to access and know how I am being profiled and targeted in a very easily accessible way, without having to jump through a number of hoops?
