Individuals have the right to request confirmation of data processing and access to their personal data, known as a Subject Access Request (SAR).
Accessibility: SARs can be made verbally, in writing, or even via social media, without the need for formal terminology.
Training: It's crucial for all staff to recognize SARs and understand the appropriate response process.
Policy Implementation: Establish procedures to record and address SARs, including verbal or in-person requests.
Personal Data: SARs only entitle individuals to their own personal data, not information concerning others, unless authorized.
Special considerations apply to SARs regarding data of minors.
Child's Entitlement: SARs concerning a child's data should be addressed directly to the child if deemed mature enough to understand.
Assessment: In Scotland, individuals aged 12 or above are presumed mature enough to exercise their rights. Similar considerations may apply elsewhere.
