s.30 — Sensitive personal data
Requirement
Sensitive personal data — including genetic and biometric data, race or ethnic origin, religious or similar beliefs, health, sex life, political opinions or affiliations and trade union membership — may be processed only where an additional statutory condition is met and with heightened safeguards.
What the engine looks for
Every group below must be satisfied — by an affirmative statement, not a plan, a hedge or a denial — for the control to count as covered. A term ending in … matches any word it begins. Supporting terms do not change the verdict — they raise confidence and distinguish a policy that names a mechanism from one that gestures at a category.
Equivalent controls elsewhere
Matched on shared topics. Satisfying this control usually moves these too.
