Good form

Marianna Spring's CV, as presented to the BBC when appointed Disinformation Correspondent, was pukka, according a Freedom of Information response.. 

 

Q I would be grateful if you would tell me whether, when she applied to join the BBC, her CV at the time was checked and found to be completely accurate, or not.  
 
A Under section 40(2), personal information about identifiable living individuals is exempt if disclosure to a third party would breach one or more principles in the General Data Protection Regulation. The individual concerned would not expect their personal data to be disclosed to a third party. Therefore, the disclosure of the information you have requested would breach the GDPR principle to only process personal data lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner. 

 

However, whilst the exemption outlined above applies to the specific information you have requested, we can confirm that Marianna Spring is the Social Media and Disinformation correspondent for the BBC. She was appointed to this position in 2020, and all information presented to the BBC when she was appointed as the Disinformation and Social Media correspondent was correct.
