Subject: [data-protection] Do I have to provide copies of documents in response to an SAR?
Dear All,
I’m sure this has been discussed on here many times before but I can’t seem to locate any of the previous conversations.
I am currently processing an SAR for an individual who has requested copies of all complaints that the Council has received and him/her and also the properties that they own. The requester is insistent that I provide redacted photocopies of the original complaints.
We have received about 50 or so complaints and I have advised that I would provide a summary of the requesters personal data that is contained within those documents, including the specific details that have been requested (i.e. date of the correspondence, date it was stamped into the office etc.).
I have looked and I cannot find anything in the legislation that states that I have to provide photocopies, only that I have to provide the information. Is this right or do I have to provide photocopies?
Many thanks in advance for any advice received.
Regards,
Amy Jaines - Information Governance Officer
