Just a short post today, but hopefully a useful one to help get to grips with some of the jargon. We keep reading this phrase in a variety of documents about GDPR – and it’s never explained! Anyway, this is what it is …

Individuals have a right to get a copy of the information that is held about them. This is known as a subject access request. This right of subject access means that you can make a request under the Data Protection Act to any organisation processing your personal data. So, now you know!

For more detailed information on Subject Access Requests the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) click on this link to their site.
