I think I would be inclined to treat this as an FOI request and either disclose whether the documents exist or not, or apply an appropriate FOI exemption to not disclose whether held or not if the information is sensitive in any way.

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
