How to make a Subject Access Request

 

What is a Subject Access Request?

Individuals wishing to access their personal information should submit a request to Culture and Sport Glasgow in accordance with the following.

 

The data subject must:

  • make the request in writing
  • supply information to prove who they are (to eliminate risk of unauthorised disclosure)
  • supply appropriate information to help the Company to locate the information they require.


Upon receipt of a request, the Company must provide:

  • information on whether or not the personal data is processed
  • a description of the data, purposes and recipients
  • a copy of the data
  • an explanation of any codes/jargon contained within the data.


The Company must respond to a Subject Access Request within 40 days.

The request should include details and provide evidence of who you are (e.g. driving licence, passport, birth certificate).  You should also provide as much detail as possible regarding the information you wish to access (e.g. where and by whom information is believed to be held, specific details of information required).

 

You are not required to state WHY you wish to access the information: the details we require are merely those that will aid the efficient location and retrieval of information.

Make your request, in writing, to:
 

Information Services Manager
Culture and Sport Glasgow
The Mitchell Library
Glasgow G3 7DN

 

Once a Subject Access Request is received, all efforts will be made to fully comply within 40 days.  In any event, you will receive all the information that has been located and can be released within 40 days. You will also receive an explanation for any information that cannot be provided at that time.
