Dear Sir/Madam,
Subject Access Request
I am writing to request copies of all information held about me by DSIT as per Article 15 of the UK GDPR, dated or generated since March 20th 2020. I am particularly interested in any information held, sent or received by the National Security Online Information Team, formerly the Counter Disinformation Unit and ask that you specifically identify where any data about me has been held or processed by the NSOIT/CDU. Please also provide the purposes for processing [such as the context for any records held, such as titles or an explanation], the period the data will be held for and the details of any other parties my data will be shared with.
If the data held includes information that is publicly available, you must still disclose all of the data. As the Information Commissioner’s Office states, a subject access request affords me legal rights me to be provided with information about:
"what personal information an organisation holds about you;
how they are using it;
who they are sharing it with;
and where they got your data from."
Please provide details of why my personal data was held/processed, who it was shared with and details of any third parties it has been shared with. I expect this to contain the titles of any documents containing my personal data at an absolute minimum.
Therefore, if social media posts, articles, videos or tweets by or involving me have been held, used, shared or obtained by anyone within DSIT, I am also entitled to that information being disclosed.
For your convenience my [SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM] handle is: [HANDLE HERE]
DELETE AS APPROPRIATE: [I have attached a photo of my ID as verification] // [I am emailing from an institutional email address that verifiably belongs to me which should remove any "reasonable doubt" as to my identity, in line with Article 12 of the GDPR and the GDPR Ruling AEPD (Spain) - PS/00003/2021]
I would like all information returned to me via email please. If any further clarification is needed please do let me know, otherwise I look forward to your response within one calendar month.
Regards,
[Your name].
