Data Subject Rights Policy
Ensure your firm respects the rights of individuals with our expertly crafted Data Subject Rights Policy. Specifically designed for law firms and legal service providers, this policy outlines the procedures for responding to data subject requests, ensuring your firm complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and UK data protection laws.
Under GDPR, individuals have specific rights over their personal data, including the right to access, correct, and delete their data. A Data Subject Rights Policy ensures your firm has a clear, compliant process for handling these requests, protecting both the rights of individuals and your firm’s legal standing. Our policy provides the framework your firm needs to process requests efficiently and transparently, minimising the risk of non-compliance and penalties.
Our comprehensive Data Subject Rights Policy outlines how your firm will manage and respond to requests from individuals exercising their GDPR rights:
Right of Access (Subject Access Requests)
Provides clear procedures for responding to data subject access requests, ensuring individuals can obtain a copy of their personal data in a timely manner. This section outlines the legal timelines for response and includes instructions on verifying identity before data is released.
Right to Rectification
Details how your firm will handle requests to correct inaccurate or incomplete data, ensuring that client and employee information is kept accurate and up-to-date.
Right to Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”)
Outlines the conditions under which individuals can request their data to be deleted and provides guidance on evaluating such requests in line with legal obligations, ensuring your firm remains compliant with GDPR.
Right to Restrict Processing
Explains the procedures for handling requests to restrict the processing of personal data, allowing individuals to limit how their data is used by your firm.
Right to Data Portability
Provides guidelines on responding to requests for data portability, where individuals can request that their personal data be transferred to another organisation in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to Object
Covers how to manage objections to data processing, including instructions on stopping or limiting the use of personal data where legally required.
Exemptions and Legal Obligations
Outlines when your firm may refuse a data subject request, such as in cases of ongoing litigation or legal holds, ensuring that your firm complies with both GDPR and legal obligations.
