Subject Access Request Question

Recently handed a few out but have two main questions

1 - Can they refuse to give all the information if there is too much information? Can they tell you to ask for less?

2 - Can they falsify details? I know its illegal but how would anyone actually find out?

1. No.
2. No.

Would suggest you read this all the way through.

This was literally the 2nd result on Google. For someone who proclaims that you do soooo much research, you didn’t spot this.

reading that link it seems that zx81 first response was incorrect. They do not have to give you the full information according to the website.

Secondly that link does not answer my question about a company changing information on the SAR it has about you. Can it be done? Why not? Who would ever find out? No-one?

It would be an incredibly difficult cover up.

You have too much faith in disgruntled minimum wage staff to keep a secret of that scale.

I’d love to give the OP a piece of paper with ‘Please Turn Over’ written on both sides and see what happens.

His tin foil hat would get very very hot.
