17. Request

Upon receipt of an SAR, the relevant team will log and acknowledge the request.

18. Identity verification

We need to check the identity of anyone making a SAR to ensure information is only given to the person who is entitled to it. If the identity of a SAR requester has not already been provided, the person receiving the request may ask the requester for KYC documents to verify the account.

19. Information for Data Subject Access Request

Upon receipt of the required documents, the person receiving the request will provide the relevant team with all relevant information in support of the SAR. Where the Team is reasonably satisfied with the information presented by the person who received the request, the Data Protection Officer will notify the requestor that his/her SAR will be responded to within 30 calendar days. The 30 day period begins from the date that the required documents are received. The requestor will be informed by the Data Protection Team in writing if there will be any deviation from the 30 day timeframe due to other intervening events or if the request is unusually complex.

The Team will ensure that the information is reviewed/received by the imposed deadline to ensure the 30 calendar day timeframe is not breached.

  • Repeat requests – Where a similar or identical request in relation to the same data subject has previously been complied with within a reasonable time period, and where there is no significant change in personal data held in relation to that data subject, any further request made within a six month period of the original request will be considered a repeat request, and the Company will not normally provide a further copy of the same data.

  • If the information is kept only for the purpose of statistics or research, and where the results of the statistical work or research are not made available in a form that identifies any of the individuals involved.
  • Requests made for other, non-data protection purposes can be rejected.
