Individual rights
-
Due to the Data (Use and Access) Act coming into law on 19 June 2025, this guidance is under review and may be subject to change. The Plans for new and updated guidance page will tell you about which guidance will be updated and when this will happen.
These two modules look at the rights of the individual. Understanding the principles will help you take the right steps to make sure you’re enacting data protection rights requests correctly.
Please note: there may be some terminology which needs updating in some of these modules, which we will update over time. However you should still find the content useful in training your staff in the key points of the relevant legislation. To make sure you're accessing the latest content, use the resources on our website rather than downloading them.
Module 8: Rights of individual (Part 1)
Module 9: Rights of individual (Part 2)
Not all rights are absolute. In these modules, we explain the circumstances when individual rights might not apply. We also explain when you can do something you wouldn’t normally be able to do.
