Central Kentucky News-Journal v. George (2010)
Mindful that the Act's exemptions must be strictly construed, KRS 61.882(4), and that it is the burden of the agency resisting disclosure to sustain its action, KRS 61.882(3), this Court has, indeed, held that certain information may be exempt under the Act where "it is the type of information about which the public would have little or no legitimate interest but which would be likely to cause serious personal embarrassment or humiliation." Lexington Herald-Leader, 941 S.W.2…
forms containing individuals' marital status, number of dependents, wage rate, social security number, home address and telephone number held exempt
We look for an indication that the information "touches upon the personal features of private lives." Zink v. Dep't of Workers' Claims, 902 S.W.2d 825, 828 (Ky.App.1994).

Kentucky Lottery Corp. v. Stewart (2001)
Zink v. Commonwealth, Ky.App., 902 S.W.2d 825, 828 (1994). 11 .
Some of the matters with which the public is necessarily concerned are set forth in Zink v. Commonwealth, Ky.App., 902 S.W.2d 825, 828 (1994): “[W]hen an individual enters on the public way, breaks a law, or inflicts a tort on his fellow man he forfeits his privacy to a certain extent.” In balancing the sacrosanct right of an individual to privacy against legitimate public concerns and the right of the public to inquire into the workings of government, we find that a settlem…
