If you are interested in making a data privacy request, you can follow the steps as explained here:

4. Make a personal information request.

If a company, mobile phone company, telephone company, insurance company, local authority or any other body has information stored about you, you have the right to obtain a copy, clearly explained, of any information relating to you.

All you need to do is write to the organisation or individual concerned and ask for it. By email is fine.

Your request could read as follows:

Dear …

I wish to make an access request under the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 for a copy of any information you keep about me, on computer or in manual form. I am making this request under section 4 of the Data Protection Acts.

You can read the full guidelines on the Data Protection Commissioners website.

You should note that you may be asked to pay a fee, but this cannot exceed €6.35.

Once you have made your request, and paid any appropriate fee, you must be given the information within 40 days, although most organisations manage to reply much sooner.

I would like to do this. Does anyone know how to go about this and where to go to request it?
