Data Protection: How to Respond to a Subject Access Request – Half Day Online Seminar

Individuals have the right to access and receive a copy of their personal data, and other supplementary information. This is commonly referred to as a subject access request or ‘SAR’.

A Subject Access Request (SAR) is an important element of GDPR guidelines as it is what allows employees and individuals to both request and receive a copy of all the personal data that a company or organization has on record for them.

This course is a practical intensive workshop, introducing theory, principles, and tools in the practical context of real-life scenarios.
