Sensitive personal data

This includes information about: ethnic or racial origin; political opinion; religious or other similar beliefs, e.g. agnosticism, atheism; trade union membership; physical or mental health details; sexual life e.g. sexual orientation; or alleged or proven criminal or civil offences.

Any site proposing to collect such information needs the explicit consent of the individual concerned. This requires a more detailed and specific "Use of Data" notice. Regulatory Legal Department should be consulted. Advice is also available from the Information Security Department on secure collection and storage of such information.
