Hello
I know you wanted counter arguments, but I agree with you.
As long as the information is being processed for the purposes of the
Data
Controller, that organisation is responsible for it, and the location of
the
processing isn't relevant (regardless of how desirable or undesirable
that
location might be). Otherwise, a person could take all of their files
home
and tell everyone to get lost, which doesn't sound right somehow.

Subject: [data-protection] SAR - Material kept at home
I'd be very interested in any views or pointers to authoritative
resources
on the following situation.
A member of staff is the line manager of someone who issues an SAR. It
appears that, in the course of working at home, some potentially
disclosable
material has been created and retained there. I am taking the view that
this is held "by or on behalf of" the organisation and as such is
(potentially) disclosable.
(Yes, all the usual things have been/will be said about proper storage
of
company information etc. etc. but that is another matter.)
Any arguments against my view welcomed. (I'm working on English legal
requirements here, not what might be "good practice" but outside the
requirements of English legislation.)
Many thanks
Jim
