I'm not sure if this chart will reproduce. It comes from
http://ico-cms.amaze.co.uk/DocumentUploads/annual%20report%20summary%202004.
pdf (Ok, I'll "tiny" it too at <http://tinyurl.com/4njq5>

Would someone please tell me why this is not (a) Sensitive Data within the
meaning of the DPA and (b) if it is, as it appears to be, sensitive data,
why the UKIC can publish it in his annual report?
I have been known to be barking mad before, but I was under the firm
impression that sensitive data was (definition taken verbatim form the act
at http://www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts1998/80029--a.htm#2):
2. In this Act "sensitive personal data" means personal data consisting of
information as to-
(a) the racial or ethnic origin of the data subject,
(
b) his political opinions,
(c) his religious beliefs or other beliefs of a similar nature,
(d) whether he is a member of a trade union (within the meaning of the
Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992),
(e) his physical or mental health or condition,
(f) his sexual life,
(g) the commission or alleged commission by him of any offence, or
(h) any proceedings for any offence committed or alleged to have been
committed by him, the disposal of such proceedings or the sentence of any
court in such proceedings.
So, how does this not break 2h as being sensitive data, made generally
available to the public, and, come to that, exported from the EEA (cf Bodil
Lindqvist) by virtue of being mounted on a web site?
