The Confidential References exemption isn’t worded exactly as you have quoted it on the blog (maybe a very late correction in parliament?).

 

DPA18 Sch 11 Para 11 states that it covers ‘….personal data consisting of a reference given (or to be given) in confidence by the controller…’.

Data Protection Act 2018 helps employers to resist subject access requests from employees

Just published on Hawktalk: http://amberhawk.typepad.com/

The Data Protection Act 2018 (“DPA2018”) contains three provisions that allow an employer to resist subject access requests from employees; this will undoubtedly make life easier for employers when dealing with such requests.

I also make comments on the shifting balance (in favour of non-disclosure of personal data) when information about another individual is present in requested personal data.  The context of this blog is processing personal data for Human Resources purposes, but clearly it has wider application.

If interested, go to the blog
