Dear Yasmin Marsh

Your information access request IR1-4546567194

Thank you for your email of 11 August asking for the most recent 40
internal GMC e-mails which contain the phrase “reddit.” I’ve considered
your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). I’m sorry
for the delay in providing this response and any inconvenience caused.

Please find the 40 most recent emails mentioning reddit prior to the date
of your request attached. Redactions have been made where information is
personal data, exempted from disclosure in line with Section 40(2) of the
FOIA.

The exemption

Section 40(2), by virtue of section 40(3A)(a)

This exemption applies where the information is the personal data of a
third party and where releasing the information would breach any of the
principles relating to the processing of personal data listed at Article 5
of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). In this instance
disclosure would breach the first principle, which requires the processing
of information to be lawful, fair and transparent. I do not believe that
any of the legal bases for processing listed at Article 6 of the GDPR are
met and therefore giving you the information would be unlawful.

Your right to appeal

I'm sorry I couldn’t provide all the information you requested. If you
would like to appeal this decision please set out your reasons in writing
to [1][GMC request email]. Please note that we will only usually consider
appeals received within 40 working days of our response. You can also
appeal to the [2]Information Commissioner, the regulator of the FOIA and
DPA.

We’re happy to talk to you more about how we consider insights from social
media in our communications and wider work. Please contact our Assistant
Director of Communications, Stephanie McNamara, via ([3][email address])
and we will arrange a call.

Yours sincerely
