By virtue of section 27(2) of that Act, the provisions imposing these obligations are referred to as the "subject information provisions".
This Order exempts from the subject information provisions processing of personal data for the purposes of assessing any person's suitability for certain offices to which appointments are made by Her Majesty.
This Order contributes to the implementation of Directive 95/46/EC on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.
