Hi Dave - I came at this from a geometric perspective... kind of a Tetris approach. Have a look at the graphic and let me know what you think. Also, a question for you that revisits some of the material we covered in our coffee chats... Are any of the individual data points - just single words - considered personal information in GDPR? :D

Brilliant example of inference and aggregation from mined data. We leave a massive digital footprint. Laws like GDPR are needed more than ever now in era of big data and Ai.

Great Dave - probably have a go tonight..
