The complainant submitted a request to the ICO for the name of the member of staff who purchased chocolate gifts from a chocolate shop. The chocolate was subsequently gifted to staff at the ICO. The Information Commissioner has confirmed the information is held but is exempt under section 40 (third party personal data). He does not consider that any public interest for the name to be released outweighs the individual’s right to confidentiality.
