In accordance with TfL’s obligations under Data Protection legislation, information where there are five or fewer people in these categories – or from which this information may be derived, has been withheld as required by section 40(2) of the FOI Act as personal data of these persons could be identified.
Disclosure of this personal data would be a breach of the DPA, specifically the first principle of principle of Article 5 of the UK General Data Protection Regulation which requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful. It would not be fair to disclose this personal information when the individuals have no expectation it would be disclosed and TfL has not satisfied one of the conditions which would make the processing ‘fair’.
This exemption to the right of access to information is an absolute exemption and not subject to an assessment of whether the public interest favours use of the exemption.
