Accessing such data or finding out if we have any data concerning you is known as a “subject access request” (SAR).

There is normally no charge for a subject access request. However, the law allows us to make a reasonable charge to cover our administrative costs if your request is ‘manifestly unfounded or excessive’ (for example, if you make repetitive requests).
We will respond to your subject access request within 1 calendar month of receiving it. Normally, we aim to provide a complete response, including a copy of your personal data within that time. In some cases, however, particularly if your request is more complex, more time may be required up to a maximum of three months from the date we receive your request. You will be kept fully informed of our progress.
