The Data Protection law gives you the right to know what information is held about you and sets out rules to make sure the information is handled properly. A copy of our Data Protection Policy can be found below and a copy of our Privacy Notice here.
A request should be made in writing and you should include documentary evidence of who you are e.g. copy of your driving license, birth certificate or passport. A suggested template for making your request can be found below.
There is not normally a fee for processing or providing this information. However, if the request is a repeat request and/or if it is excessive or manifestly unfounded we can charge an administration fee, which includes search time as well as the time spent getting the data ready for release.
We will respond within 30 calendar days of receiving your request.
If you have a complaint about the way we have handled your personal information, you should contact the UK Information Commissioner.
