Article 79Partial Disclosure

第七十九条(部分開示)

If non-disclosure information is included in personal information an administrative entity holds that is subject to a request for disclosure, and it is possible to easily separate and exclude the part that constitutes non-disclosure information from the personal information, the administrative organ's head or administrative entity must disclose the part from which the part that constitutes non-disclosure information has been excluded to the person requesting disclosure.

行政機関の長等は、開示請求に係る保有個人情報に不開示情報が含まれている場合において、不開示情報に該当する部分を容易に区分して除くことができるときは、開示請求者に対し、当該部分を除いた部分につき開示しなければならない。

If the information set forth in paragraph (1), item (ii) of the preceding Article (limited to information that can be used to identify a specific individual other than the person requesting disclosure) is included in personal information an administrative entity holds that is subject to a request for disclosure, and it is found that disclosure of the information would not be likely to cause damage to the rights and interests of a person other than the person requesting disclosure if the part in the information that constitutes a name, date of birth, or other identifiers or their equivalent that can be used to identify a specific individual other than the person requesting disclosure, or that constitutes an individual identification code were excluded from that information, the other part in the information from which the part mentioned above has been excluded is deemed not to be included in the information set forth in that item, and the provisions of the preceding paragraph apply to it.

開示請求に係る保有個人情報に前条第一項第二号の情報(開示請求者以外の特定の個人を識別することができるものに限る。)が含まれている場合において、当該情報のうち、氏名、生年月日その他の開示請求者以外の特定の個人を識別することができることとなる記述等及び個人識別符号の部分を除くことにより、開示しても、開示請求者以外の個人の権利利益が害されるおそれがないと認められるときは、当該部分を除いた部分は、同号の情報に含まれないものとみなして、前項の規定を適用する。
