Please
The Data Protection Act 2018 and UK Data Protection Law give individuals the right to obtain confirmation as to whether their personal data is being processed and, where applicable, to access the personal data we hold about them. This right of access is known as a Subject Access Request (SAR).
We aim to provide access to personal data within one month of receiving a Subject Access Request. If a request is complex, an extension of up to a further two months may be required. Where this is the case, we will communicate with the individual making the request and explain the reasons for the extension.
A copy of the information will normally be provided free of charge. However, a reasonable fee may be charged where a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or where an individual makes repeated requests. We will notify the individual if we intend to make a charge and explain why.

One of the rights provided by UK Data Protection Law is the right to request the deletion or removal of personal data in certain circumstances. This is sometimes referred to as the ‘right to be forgotten’ or the ‘right to erasure’.
An individual may have the right to have their personal data erased and to prevent further processing in specific circumstances, including:
The right to erasure is not an absolute right. There are circumstances where West Thames College may be required or permitted to retain or continue processing personal data. If we are unable to comply with a request for erasure, we will explain the reasons to the individual.
