I thought it was because non-sensitive personal data can be disclosed, 'for
the purposes of ligitimate intersts pursued by the data controller or by the
third party or parties to whom teh data are disclosed, except where the
processing is unwarranted in any particular case by reason of prejudice to
the rights and freedoms or legitimate interests of the data subject'.
Presumably, if another person's vital interests are involved then the
disclosure would not be 'unwarranted' even if it did prejudice the rights,
freedoms or legitimate interests of the data subject?

I have been wondering why it is that:
1. non-sensitive personal data can be disclosed "in order to protect the
vital intersts of the data subject"
whereas
2. sensitive personal data can be disclosure "in order to protect the vital
intersts of the data subject OR ANOTHER PERSON" albeit only where consent
cannot be given by, or would be unreasonably withheld by, the data subject,
or cannot reasonably be obtained from the data subject.
