Are information regarding a government employee’s position exempted from the Data Privacy Act?

Information about an individual who is or was a government officer or employee is safely exempted from the law if it relates to their specific position or functions. This public exemption broadly covers the fact of their employment, their official title, business address, and office telephone number. Furthermore, it explicitly includes the classification, salary range, and responsibilities of the position they officially hold. This strict limitation on the law’s applicability is fully detailed in Section 5 IRR. “1. Information about any individual who is or was an officer or employee of government that relates to his or her position or functions, including: (a) The fact that the individual is or was an officer or employee of the government; (b) The title, office address, and office telephone number of the individual; (c) The classification, salary range, and responsibilities of the position held by the individual…” 20-May-26
