A Subject Access Request is the right of access to see your personal data. To find out more, please navigate through the below topics by clicking on them. If you have any further queries then please get in touch!

What are Subject Access Requests?

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), gives a data subject the right to obtain confirmation that their data is being processed, and where that is the case, access to the personal data.

The right of access to this information is referred to as Subject Access Request (SAR). This procedure explains the process to ensure SARs are handled in line with the GDPR.

Collating the Information.

Once all of the requested information is collated by Return2Play, the SAR response will be reviewed to ensure that:

a)    The information is clear and that all coded data is decoded and any business or medical terms are explained.

b)    Any information in relation to a third person is removed unless they have given their consent.

If any information has been removed e.g. relating to another person OR all the information asked for is not given, an explanation will be included in a letter to you.

The completed SAR will be sent to you in an easily readable format (email, post) applying appropriate security, within one month of receiving your valid request.

Where requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive, in particular because of their repetitive character, Return2Play may:

a)    Charge a reasonable fee taking into account the administrative costs of providing the information or communication or taking the action requested; or

b)    Refuse to act on the request.
