Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), individuals can request access to the personal data that employers or other organisations hold on them. This is commonly known as a DSAR and is subject to certain conditions.

You are required to respond to DSARs within one month – but when does this start?

According to Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) guidance, the response to a DSAR should be provided "without undue delay" and at the latest within one month of receipt of the request or (if later) within one month of receipt of:

  • any requested information to clarify the request; 
  • any information requested to confirm the requester's identity; or
  • a fee (in certain circumstances).
