DSAR Solicitors for Employers

Handling a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) can be a significant administrative and legal burden. Our expert solicitors help employers navigate complex data disclosures securely. We provide strategic legal representation to ensure compliance while protecting your highly sensitive corporate information.

Fast and Effective Response to DSAR

Current data protection law specifies that any individual can make a written request to access a copy of any and all personal data held about them by an organisation. This request is known as a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR).

In the case of an employee making a DSAR to their employer, this can entail processing not only payroll and personnel information, but also potentially years of internal emails, documents, telephone records, CCTV records, electronic memos and other materials.

A business in receipt of a Data Subject Access Request is required under the Data Protection Act 2018 to respond within a month- or it could face fines in the hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Don’t risk non-compliance and speak to our Data Protection Manager today. Call us on 0203 667 5400 or email info@weareloch.com for urgent assistance.

Responding to a DSAR will usually comprise:

Verifying the identity of the individual making the request and ensuring that the business does not share personal data with the wrong person
Confirming the existence of personal data that is held and processed by the organisation
Providing descriptions of this data, the reasons for its processing and whether it is to be shared with any other entities
Producing copies of any and all information that comprises the personal data
Disclosing the source(s) of the personal data, where applicable and available

Data released in response to a DSAR cannot contain sensitive personal information about other individuals than the originator of the request, and so all records released must be processed to redact data that should not be shared. If the Data Subject Access Request is fulfilled incorrectly and the wrong records are released, the individual behind the request can use this against the organisation and file a complaint with the ICO.
