> Hi,

> Just wondered what your opinions of a recent subject access request
> I
> sent to an ex-employer of mine. First a bit of background, this is
> an
> American IT company providing the IT infrastructure and support to a
> major British military company. Anyhow, I worked for them for six
> months
> and as I am now doing a PhD that is looking into SAR/IAR I decided
> to
> send a SAR to see what the response was as a kind of case study.
> Anyhow,
> I was very surprised after paying my fees and proving proof of
> identity,
> that the forty day limit came and went. I made a few phone calls to
> the
> head office and after speaking to the data protection officers there
> (who where very nice and helpful) told me that they had sent the
> request
> to the wrong person and that was the reason for the delay but that
> they
> hoped to have something ready to send by the end of the week. In
> fact,
> it took them 83 days to respond to my request, and when I did
> eventually
> receive something it was missing a lot of information that I think
> (though I am not 100% certain of this) they keep on there records
> system.
>
> I was just wondering if anyone else has any opinion on this, and if
> you
> can advise me on how your company deals with SAR/IAR to ensure you
> comply with the DPA/FOI?
