BNP membership list.

Mark Walker made this Freedom of Information request to West Yorkshire Police

The request was partially successful.

From: Mark Walker

6 October 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please provide the following information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

In November 2008 the membership list of the British National Party
(BNP) was published online. On September 1, 2009 a disgruntled
former official Matt Single was convicted in relation to this for
offences under the Data Protection Act.

I refer to Schedule 1 of The Data Protection Principles.

Under Schedule 1, any use of 'sensitive personal data' must be
processed
only when at least one of the conditions in Schedule 2 is met, and
at
least one of the conditions in Schedule 3 is also met.

1. Please tell me if West Yorkshire Police has processed any data
relating to the leaked British National Party membership list.

2. Please tell me which of the conditions in Schedule 2 and
Schedule 3
were met when processing sensitive personal data?

3. Has sensitive personal data been used for any purposes other
than
comparing against the West Yorkshire Police personnel database?

4. Who was responsible for the decision to compare sensitive
personnel
data against West Yorkshire Police's personnel data?

5. What were the grounds for such a decision?

6. I request the minutes of any meeting held to come to such a
decision.

7. Please describe the process used in making such a decision and
whether the consequences of this decision, if any, were assessed.

Yours faithfully,

Mark Walker
