Look at Section 8(6) - which allows you to continue to delete data if
its part of your normal date deletion programme. Some people interpret
this to mean that data only routinely held for more than 40 days is
subject to an SAR ........

Subject: Prohibition of destruction with intent to conceal


Hi,

I hope that this is a quick and easy one.  FOISA makes it a criminal 
offence to destroy or conceal information that has been requested in
order 
to prevent its disclosure (Section 65 of the Scottish legislation).  I 
suspect that the same is true for personal data under the DPA (i.e. you
are 
not allowed to destroy someone's personal data in the event of a SAR so
as 
to escape from disclosing it), but I cannot find any reference to this
in 
the DPA.  Am I not looking hard enough, or is it there somewhere?

Cheers
Graeme
