Confidential
references given by the data controller are exempt from subject access; but
what about in the following situation.
A
medical consultant (employee of the data controller) provides a confidential reference
for another clinician (member of staff) for a promotion within the data
controller’s organisation. The clinician didn’t get the job and has
put in a SAR for the reference. The consultant has stated that it was
confidential and does not want it released. As this is a confidential reference
provided by the data controller (even though it was from the data controller to
the data controller) does the exemption to the right of subject access still
apply?
