Dear Oxford City Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Oxford City Council's handling of my FOI request 'Communications Between Council and Information Commissioners Office 2023'.
Can you explain why some of the email communications, apart from email header have been totally redacted? An example would be the file:
24 00091 Redacted FOI emails 1.zip
containing the document:
Re_ IC-202435-Y5H2 - internal review follow up information _Redacted.pdf.
Why have you redacted the contents of the entire document?
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
Yours faithfully,
Janet King
Dear Janet King
Freedom of Information Request, Oxford City Council - Reference:
FOI2024/00091
Thank you for your follow up question to our response to your Freedom of
Information request received on 28 February 2024. Our answers is as
follows.
Follow up Question
Can you explain why some of the email communications, apart from email
header have been totally redacted?
Response
We have redacted emails that were received by or sent to a third party -
that is, members of the public. As set out in our covering response, this
is due to exemption s40 (personal data). Section 40 is an absolute
exemption that covers personal third party data where disclosure would
breach the Data Protection Act 2018's principles concerning personal
information. We strongly believe that disclosing this information would
allow for the respective persons to be identified and would not constitute
fair processing of their personal data, and would thus breach the first
data protection principle (personal information must be fairly and
lawfully processed).
If you disagree with any part of the response to your request, you are
entitled to ask the Council for an internal review of the decision(s)
made. You may do this by writing to the Monitoring Officer, by either
email [1][email address] - or by post to Monitoring
Officer, Oxford City Council, Town Hall, St Aldate's, Oxford, OX1 1BX.
After the result of the internal review, if you remain dissatisfied, you
may ask the Information Commissioner to intervene on your behalf. You may
do this by writing to the Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
Yours sincerely
