Data Subject Access Request: Advice for Employers

Since the introduction of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)  in 2018, employees have had the right to request access to their personal data from their employer using a Data Subject Access Request (DSAR).

In this podcast two members of the Data Protection team at Clarkslegal discuss DSARs in an employment law context, as they often appear where there is on ongoing dispute between an employee and their employer. They will explain what exactly a DSAR is, how one is made, and how companies should respond if they receive one.

If you have any questions at all about any aspect of the DSAR process, or need some advice on how to respond to a DSAR, please contact our Data Protection lawyers for advice.
