Request ID: FOI-1936-2324 Date published: 04 October 2023
You asked
In the following page of TfL's website
https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/privacy-and-cookies/road-user-charging#on-this-page-4
it states that TfL permits "our suppliers to have remote access to specific data used for this purpose from off shore locations". Please list the suppliers/locations and list the "specific data" available to them. "specific data" is of course completely unspecific, and too wide a term to make any reasonable assessment of the risk of public exposure to data breach. TfL will be only too aware of recent data breaches in government departments and agencies, even in the UK.
