In a message dated 19/05/2000 14:35:07 GMT Daylight Time, [log in to unmask] writes about minutes being accessible, personal data, etc, and concludes: << Then again, if someone is keeping a copy of the minutes on disc, all the above is irrelevant. >> Most councils keep their minutes on computer these days, they sometimes include references to individuals, and it is a piece of cake to access the information for subject access requests. Sometimes, the council tries to conceal the identity of the person in the "up front" (ie public version) minutes by putting things like: "Employee CZ in the Personnel Department has applied for six weeks extended leave from 19 July 2000 for a holiday in Australia". (Not a true minute, just a made-up facsimile) I wonder if that person would be identifiable? If we used the electoral register would we also find the address that's going to be unoccupied for a while?
