personal information.

period and on the conditions that the Authority thinks fit.

restricted personal information be released to a person who applies for it,
the Authority may release some or all of the information to that person on
such conditions as the Authority thinks fit.

(5) If the Authority decides to release restricted personal information, the
Authority must give written notice of the decision to the person whose
restricted personal information is to be released.

after giving written notice of the decision to release the information to the
