Ask the law enforcement authority for further information
If it is not clear whether sharing the personal data with the law enforcement authority would be necessary for their law enforcement purposes, then you need to ask them for further information. For example, you could ask them to explain why the personal data is important and what impact it would have if you didn’t share it with them.
You should not make a decision about sharing personal data with a law enforcement authority until you are satisfied that sharing the personal data is necessary for this purpose.
