As privacy laws have developed over the last decade, one right that has come to be understood as fundamental for individuals is the right of access for an individual to their own data. The right to request such data, commonly referred to as a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR), Subject Access Request, Records Request or Data Subject Rights Request, is enshrined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This whitepaper deals with access requests under the GDPR, however, where relevant we have sought to highlight any key similarities and differences between the principal global privacy laws.
The whitepaper contains a range of practical tips and guidance on how a company can manage the DSARs they receive effectively and efficiently.
As an example, it includes a Sample Data Subject Access Request Process, which details how a DSAR can flow through a company, and how each department (with assistance from Johnson Hana) can process the relevant section.
At Johnson Hana we work with clients to manage their requests, providing a fully outsourced solution comprising technology, project management and qualified legal consultants. The Johnson Hana model allows us to deliver projects efficiently within the mandated time frame and at a cost far below a traditional law firm, while freeing up internal resources to concentrate on higher value, core work.
We are happy to provide a fully outsourced solution to a client for managing all their requests, or to support clients on an ad hoc basis for particularly large, complex or sensitive requests.
