Getting access to your data


The data protection Act gives you the right to find out what data is held about you by organisations, with a few exceptions. This is known as 'right of subject access'. On written request, you will be entitled to be provided with a copy of all the data organisations hold about you. You can also do this in person however you will have to prove you identity with some means of identification (e.g. Driving license, passport)
