- Confidentiality alone satisfies every Section 19 research condition
- Every project containing a spreadsheet is exempt
- The controller may create exemptions by naming them
- The stated research exception is not established because decisions are taken regarding the data subjects
- The customers automatically acquire the company's entire research system
