In our latest podcast Melissa Hall, Legal Director in MFMac’s Commercial team, explores what DSARs are, when and why individuals typically make them, and the challenges organisations face – particularly when requests are broad or arise in contentious situations.
The discussion also outlines how to manage DSARs effectively, from clarifying scope and meeting deadlines to applying exemptions.
This episode highlights key ICO guidance, common risks such as complaints and enforcement, and practical steps organisations can take to stay compliant and reduce legal and reputational exposure.
