What is a Subject Access Request?

You have the right to ask an organisation whether or not they are using or storing your personal information. You can also ask them for copies of your personal information, verbally or in writing.

This is called the right of access and is commonly known as making a subject access request or SAR.

How we get your information and what we use it for

Your information helps protect you and us from fraud. It also helps us check it’s really you. We may also ask you to consider using other identification methods like biometrics (your fingerprint or voice).

Accessing your data

When you request a SAR we will provide you with any of your personal data that we are processing.  The more specific you are about what you are looking for the more quickly and effectively we can respond to your request.

Examples of personal information that you can request:
