How it works

A Subject Access Request (SAR) is a written ask for the personal data an organisation holds about you. The Committee then has one month to respond.

  1. You enter your name

    Just your name — typed locally, so the Committee can match your records.

  2. This page builds a letter for you

    It picks legally-reviewed wording from a clause pool. You can edit the result before sending.

  3. You send it from your own email

    Open in your mail client, in Gmail, copy to clipboard, or print for postal submission.

Where the request goes

The recipient is the Data Protection Officer for the Committee for Home Affairs. Email is fastest, but you may also send by post.
