Hello Paul

 

By saying put in a ‘legitimate request’ you are gaining the grounds for fishing out the information in the first place.  Otherwise you are carrying out a piece of work potentially of no value to the requester and definitely of no value to the University and such work would be detrimental (albeit in only a small way) to the working of the University.

 

He/she is a repeat requester they should know the form by now.

 

Kind regards

 

Phil

Subject: [data-protection] DSAR question

 

Hi, this is a bit of a strange question and I might be overthinking this, but I’ve got a data subject, who’s made multiple DSARs before, now asking if I can confirm whether some recent documents exist so they can make a DSAR for them if they do. On the one hand this seems perfectly reasonable but it also smacks a little of making a DSAR by a roundabout route to get a quick answer and avoid paying (and where people make an SAR and we don’t have the data we tend to refund the £10 anyway). Just wondering what people would do in this situation, be helpful (but have the risk of answering outside of the legislative framework) or stick to a  jobsworth approach of ‘if you want to know what we hold make a DSAR”?

 

Regards
