DATA PROTECTION AND FREEDOM OF INFORMATION
It’s important that you’re aware of the Arts Council of Wales’ obligations and
responsibilities under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to provide on request access to
recorded information that we hold. One of the consequences of these statutory
responsibilities is that information we hold about you may be subject to disclosure, in
response to a request, unless we decide that one of the statutory exemptions applies.
If you send us information that you believe to be commercially sensitive or confidential, this
will need to be clearly marked. It would help us if you could explain briefly the reason(s)
and appropriate timescales you would consider confidentiality to apply. This will assist us,
in the event of a request, to substantiate our reason for applying the necessary exemption
should we decide it would be appropriate to do so. However, you can’t assume that by
marking information as confidential or commercially sensitive that an automatic exemption
will apply. Other factors would also need to be considered at the time, such as the nature
and scope of information requested and the timing of that request. (Freedom of
Information rules assume that confidentiality/commercial sensitivity usually diminishes over
time).
Sometimes information, data and material of any nature comprises Personal data or
Sensitive Personal data, (as terms are defined in the Data Protection Act 1998). If this
applies, we’ll not disclose any such confidential information to a third party without your
consent.
