We have recently had a Subject Access Request for "All Personal Data".
(Litigation is involved)
There is a likelihood that such data exists at random places on both the
Email system and the College Network.
Questions:
1) Is it reasonable for one person, such as the Data Protection Officer,
to be authorised to conduct an electronic search of the whole system?
Could that person be considered to be breaking human rights acts,
intruding on the confidentiality of others, etc?
Or
2) Do you try to get managers of respective departments to do the
search? (With a possibility of same breaches of acts, confidientiality
etc.)
Is there a recommended way out there? All constructive thoughts
welcome.
Thank you.
David Blewitt
