常见情景

Making a Subject Access Request (SAR)

Under Article 15 UK GDPR, you have the right to obtain confirmation of whether your personal data is being processed and a copy of that data. The organisation must respond within one calendar month. The request is free. If the organisation fails to comply, you can complain to the ICO.

Company suffers a data breach

Under Article 33 UK GDPR, a personal data breach must be reported to the ICO within 72 hours if it is likely to result in a risk to individuals' rights and freedoms. Affected individuals must also be notified without undue delay if the risk is high. Failure to report can result in significant fines.

Receiving unwanted marketing emails

Direct marketing by email requires consent under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations 2003 (PECR), unless the 'soft opt-in' exception applies. You have the right to object to direct marketing at any time. Complaints can be made to the ICO.
