ICO SAR Guidance Summary
The ICO has observed a significant rise in complaints concerning Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs). Between April 2022 and March 2023, the ICO received 15,848 complaints, highlighting ongoing challenges with compliance. In response, the ICO has taken enforcement action, such as reprimanding organisations for failing to meet DSAR deadlines. For instance, Norfolk County Council was reprimanded in May 2023 after responding on time to only 51% of DSARs between April 2021 and April 2022.
When Can You Withhold Information from a DSAR Request?
Under UK GDPR, organisations can withhold information from a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR) under specific circumstances. These exemptions must be applied carefully and justified on a case-by-case basis. Reasons include protecting third-party data, legal privilege, or manifestly excessive requests. Understanding and applying these exemptions correctly is vital for ensuring compliance while safeguarding sensitive information.
Navigating Special Cases in Personal Data for DSARs
Special categories of personal data—such as unstructured manual records, health, educational, and social work data—come with specific challenges when responding to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs). UK businesses and public authorities must be aware of the unique compliance requirements for each category, particularly regarding cost limitations, search obligations, and exemptions, to avoid falling short of GDPR standards.
Understanding the Right of Access
The right of access, also known as a Subject Access Request (SAR), allows individuals to request their personal data from an organisation. Businesses must respond within one month or up to three months for complex requests. Compliance is essential to avoid legal risks and ensure transparency in data handling.
New ICO SAR Guidance: Why Employers Must Not Get Caught Out
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) recently issued new guidance on Subject Access Requests (SARs), emphasising the need for employers to handle them correctly and promptly. Failure to comply can result in fines or reprimands. This guidance ensures businesses are not caught up in common mistakes, such as overlooking informal requests or misunderstanding response deadlines.
The Cost of Non-Compliance: Labour Party Penalised for DSAR Failures
The ICO fined the Labour Party for failing to respond to Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs) promptly. This case highlights the risks of non-compliance with GDPR for UK organisations, emphasising the need for efficient, compliant DSAR handling. Automated solutions, like DSAR.ai, can help businesses avoid costly fines by streamlining the process and reducing human error.
Revolutionising Subject Access Requests: Decoding the CJEU’s Landmark Judgment
On 4th May, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) delivered a pivotal judgment in case C-487/21 (Österreichische Datenschutzbehörde v CRIF GmbH), which significantly impacts data protection and the rights of data subjects.

Data Access: The Painful Truth of High-Level Effort and Hidden Costs
