That statement from the ACCC says that informed consent cannot be reached as Google spelled out neither the changes, nor how the data would be used. It doesn't actually go into the question of how much information is needed for informed consent, just that as things happened, there was not enough. Informed consent itself actually has a legal definition in regards to the laws the ACCC acts upon, so it might be useful to spell that one out as well: > Informed consent means that a person: > a) is provided with appropriate and adequate information > b) is capable of understanding the nature of the information and the consequences of a decision made in relation to this information > c) can freely make decisions without unfair pressure or influence from others.
