The Data Protection (Corporate Finance Exemption) Order 2000
The Data Protection Act 1998 imposes certain obligations on data controllers to give data subjects information about the processing of personal data and to give access to personal data. By virtue of section 27(2) of that Act, the provisions imposing these obligations are referred to as “the subject information provisions”. Paragraph 6 of Schedule 7 to the Act creates an exemption from these provisions where, inter alia, the exemption is required for the purpose of safeguarding an important economic or financial interest of the United Kingdom.
