Call centre starts a free hearing test scheme for its staff who wear headphones all day. Manager emails all staff with deatils. Those wanting to take up offer email back. Appointments are made on their behalf. List of appointments drawn up and pinned on noticeboard.
Q Is the fact that someone is going for a hearing test in this scenario sensitive personal data i.e does it relate to his physical health or condition. If so why ?
Things you might consider :
If it was a compulsory hearing test almost certainly it would not be sensitive personal data.
So if it is, then presumably this is because the act of accepting the offer suggests for some at least that they have a concern about their hearing ? But since others will accept a freebie on principle the fact of aceptance clearly does not say anything about any individual in this respect.
