Data protection

The Data Protection Act allows you to find out what information about you is held on computer and in some paper records. This is called the right of subject access and includes facts and opinions expressed about you.

How to make a request for information

You can make a subject access request by writing to the Information Officer at the address below.

If you prefer you can download and complete the data request form below and send it to the same address.

We aim to supply the information within 28 days (not the statutory 40 days) after receiving your request, the fee, proof of your identity and sufficient information from you to help locate the information you require. Your request should include:

• Your present address
• Two forms of identification such as your current council tax or a utility bill, your birth certificate, passport or driving licence
• Or at least two other similar items including your name, address and/or photograph
• You should also provide details of the information you wish to access. This will help avoid delays in locating the information you want.
• We will also require payment of the £10 charge before we start to search for your information.

Once your information has been gathered we will invite you to look at it in the presence of a member of staff. If you are not able to visit the Council, we will send it to you by Recorded Delivery.

Wycombe District Council
