If you make a subject access request (SAR) we are legally obliged to respond and provide you with the information it holds about you within a specified time period, in most cases this will be within one month.
In some circumstances you may not be entitled to all of the information held about you, in these circumstances we would need to satisfy one of the exemptions contained within the DPA.
If we refuse your request on the basis of an exemption we will provide you with a justification for this decision. You are entitled to ask for an internal review of such a decision and may also make a complaint to the Information Commissioneror seek to enforce your right of access through a judicial remedy.
In addition to providing you with a copy of your data, you are also entitled to be provided with:
- the purposes of our processing
