Data protection
What is the Data Protection Act?
The Data Protection Act is a law which requires any organisation that is processing personal data about individuals to comply with certain safeguards.
It also gives individuals the right to access information held about themselves. This right of access is subject to certain exemptions.
Who can request personal information?
Anyone, anywhere in the world, can make a request for personal information under the Data Protection Act. You do not have to be a UK citizen or resident of the UK to request information.
