What are Exemption Codes?
Exemption codes are pre-defined reasons for information redaction that are governed by central bodies such as The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

Exemption codes are used by information managers when it may not be appropriate to disclose certain information.  An example would be the Freedom of Information Section 40 code which related to the removal of Personal Information from a document or file before issue as part of an FoI information request
