#7 Subject Access Request – what’s that then?

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!
