Individuals have the right to request access to their personal data, and in most cases, to be given a copy of the information which the Council holds about them. This is often called a 'subject access request' or 'SAR' because it is the data subject requesting access to their data.

You are not entitled to see someone else's information unless they have given their permission for you to do so. Likewise, someone else cannot ask for your information unless you have given permission for them to do so, or they are legally authorised to do so. This applies to spouses, relatives, friends etc.

We have a form to help you make your request to access your data which can be downloaded and sent to us together with your proof of identity and address (if required). Your request should include as much detail as possible to help us with your request.
