Organisation is not the person

"'personal data' shall mean any information relating to an identified or 
identifiable natural person" (q) Directive 95/46/EC of the European 
Parliament and of the Council

Technically, specifying the data that should be provided and the data 
that shouldn't - it's even not a question for discussion "is it possible 
or not". Of course it's possible. It's not the subject of heuristic 
analysis of the arbitrary data - all the  information stored inside the 
database (whatever type of database that is used) and specifying the 
criteria for displaying (or masking) data it not the question of 
possibility - it's the question of realization
