>Just thinking about how you would handle a collection which contains a mixture of >personal and non-personal data makes me glad not to be a public authority DPO. I think FoIA will be a help rather than a hindrance. The effect of the Durant case was to say that unstructured data don't have to be included in response to a SAR, rather than saying that those data must not be included. There never has been anything to stop a Data Controller continuing to include unstructured data if they wish to. Indeed, in cases where accessible public records are concerned (and most requests we receive are for Social Services records) Durant made no difference whatsoever.
