Subject Access Request Policy

Introduction

A key feature of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) is the empowerment of individuals to be able to access and potentially amend/delete any information that an organisation holds about them. Data protection law is set out in the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Further information and advice is also available from the website (see link below) of the data protection regulator – the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public 

These notes are intended only as a guide to completing the Cloud Orca Subject Access
Request Form, not as a guide to Subject Access Requests under GDPR itself. For further advice on filling out the forms, please telephone us on 02034883985 (or email us at info@cloudorca.com).

Your Rights

Under GDPR you have (subject to certain exemptions) the right to be told whether Cloud Orca, as a data controller, is holding or processing any information about you; and if so, to be provided with a copy of that information or request for that information to be updated or deleted completely.

Cloud Orca’s Rights

Where an exemption is available under GDPR, Cloud Orca may not provide you with the information covered by the exemption. The main exemptions that may be applied are where the information held relates to:

  • the carrying out of our regulatory functions;
  • the prevention or detection of crime; or
  • the apprehension or prosecution of offenders;

and where disclosure of the information would be likely to prejudice any of these purposes. We are not required to tell you whether any exemptions have been applied to any information that we may provide, or whether any information has been withheld or the reason for the withholding of any information.

Payment

Cloud Orca will not charge a fee except in cases where Cloud Orca deems the request to be manifestly unfounded or excessive or where additional copies are requested in order to cover administration costs. Applications that are deemed to require a fee and do not include the correct fee in an acceptable form will not be processed.
