Jersey Archive​ file access (FOI)

Request

I’m a third year Social Science student currently undertaking my dissertation at Highlands College. I have requested to view a number of files at Jersey Archive, but I have been told they require your permission to view. My subject requires some background on refugees in the island. The files are:

D/S/F2/10/10

D/S/F2/3/3A

What process would I need to go through to gain access?

Response

The files in question have been reviewed.

Both of these bundles contain personal information and as such are exempt under Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.

The Jersey Customs & Immigration Service, who own the files, are therefore unable to allow access to these two files at this time.

Exemption(s) applied

Article 25 Personal information

(1) Information is absolutely exempt information if it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005.

(2) Information is absolutely exempt information if –

(a) it constitutes personal data of which the applicant is not the data subject as defined in the Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005; and

(b) its supply to a member of the public would contravene any of the data protection principles, as defined in that Law.
