The definition of Confidential Information is broadly similar to that of ‘Specified information’ set out in Part 9 EA02, which is information that (1) comes to the CMA in the exercise of its functions and (2) relates to the affairs of an individual during their lifetime or the business of an undertaking while the undertaking is in existence. Part 9 EA02 prohibits sharing this specific information outside the CMA unless one of the statutory ‘gateways’ applies, the test set out in Part 9 s244 is met, and it is not prohibited in other UK legislation (eg the GDPR).
