Overview
Data Subject Access Requests (SARs) are an integral part of the data protection landscape. However, we know requests for personal information can often be a costly and time-consuming task to complete.
SARs exemptions allow public sector organisations to protect information, reduce the burden of responding to vexatious requests and prioritise valid requests for personal data.
Attend our Understanding and Applying SARs Exemptions course to gain a brief and comprehensive overview of the SAR landscape and exemptions. Learn how to manage vexatious requests for personal data, practice writing a refusal notice and apply the public interest test.
