A: This is the raw data (can be anything, but no consent to say we would use anonymised information to proactively publish datasets)
B: This is the anonymised data.
According to the ICO Anonymising Data Code of Practice they welcome the idea of releasing data, as long as it is done correctly. However they make a brief statement that you are still required to comply with the DP principles. Therefore it stands to reason that if you have raw data which includes sensitive data we would need to meet at least one Schedule 3 condition to get from A to B (what at B DP does not apply as it contains no personal data).
In this example we do not have any statutory duty to publish it, we have not been asked for it under FOI and we do not have consent. Which condition allows us to process the data at A to achive B, to meet the ever growing OpenData Agenda?
