Subject Access Request

A Subject Access Request (SAR) is a formal way for individuals to ask an organization to provide the personal data it holds about them. Under data protection laws, companies must respond within a specific time frame, usually providing a copy of the data and information about how it is used. This process helps individuals understand what personal information organizations have, ensure its accuracy, and exercise their rights to privacy and data control. SARs are an important tool for maintaining transparency and accountability in data handling practices.
