I am asking them to store it there but not to catalog it and make a note somewhere that this person has AIDS, is divorced, lost his house in foreclosure etc etc etc.

That's the difference. It's almost the difference between whispering something at a bar vs posting it online, where it stays for ever.

Please stop making physical analogies, those are nothing alike.

You've given them all your documents and asked them to index, filter and store them.

> not to catalog it and make a note somewhere that this person has AIDS, is divorced, lost his house in foreclosure etc etc etc.

But remember the raw data is always going to be there, so anyone with access to the raw data could draw these conclusions too.

And how exactly can do that?
