Accessing your information - Subject Access Request (SAR)
What is a subject access request?
Under the Data Protection Act 1998 an individual has the right to request all personal data that a Data Controller holds about them by making a subject access request. The Data Protection Act gives Data Controllers 40 calendar days to complete a subject access request. This time starts from the day we receive a clear request and enough identification to be sure that the request is from the data subject. Once this information has been received the designated Data Controller (your counsellor) will contact you to acknowledge that the 40 day period has started.
You can make a request to access your personal information by filing a SAR form and e-mail it to mayanayake1@talktalk.net for the attention of your counsellor.
