I confirm that Ordnance Survey does hold some of the information you have requested. Where the information is exempt from disclosure this is stated.
Taking each request in turn, I confirm the following:
1. The name, position and contact details (telephone number and email address) of the person responsible for arranging and administering the organisations insurances
The position of the person responsible for OS insurance contracts is the Procurement and Contract Manager.
The information relating to the name and direct contact details, is held by OS but is exempt from disclosure under section 40(2) (personal information) of the FOIA, as the information constitutes personal data.
Section 40(2) provides that personal data is exempt information if one of the conditions set out in section 40(3) is satisfied. In our view, disclosure of this information would breach the data protection principles contained in the General Data Protection Regulations and Data Protection Act 2018
In reaching this decision, we have particularly considered:
- the reasonable expectations of the employees: given their positions, OS considered that none of the individuals would have a reasonable expectation that their personal data would be disclosed;
- the consequences of disclosure; and
- any legitimate public interest in disclosure.
Section 40(2) is an absolute exemption and therefore not subject to the public interest test.
