I do agree with Alex that open ended requests are unacceptable, pity then
that the leaflet provided to data subjects from the OIC contains a sample
letter which asks for "ALL the data your company holds about me".
Also if someone provides a list of all possible places where data maybe held
and details to assist a search you end up doing a blanketv SAR anyway!

Brenda,
The Data Controller need not comply with a SAR unless the person making the
request provides such information to assist in the location of the
information (DPA 1998, 7(3)) along with other information, identity, etc.
A request for all information within a Local Authority is not acceptable.

Subject: Supplying information to locate data
Apart from the guidance to data subjects on the OIC site which mentions
that a Controller will need some information to locate data in a SAR, does
anyone have details of where this is stated in a more forceful way on the
OIC site ?
We have a SAR where the data user hasn't given any idea of even the dept he
thinks his data may be in and we want to quote something from the IC to
stress that we need this information in order to search.
