Hi all,
Just looking for a sense check here. We have received a request from the union representative of a former employee for emails from the former employee's work email account. It reads:
"we request that steps are put in place to archive the content so that it can be supplied to XXX and [their] representatives to enable the search and retrieval of pertinent emails".
The former employee's email account is suspended, not closed. My thinking is that the request for the entire email archive is excessive and the archive will, of course, contain other people's personal data. I would suggest that we ask the requester to be more specific about the data required (email content/emails within a certain time frame etc) and then we can provide a specified selection of emails, redacted where required.
Any suggestions/comments would be much appreciated. SARs are few and far between here!
Thanks,
Liam
