We will action Your request without delay and at the latest within one (1) month of Your request subject to any extensions granted. Alternatively, if You agree, We will try to deal with Your request informally, for example, by providing You with the specific information You need over the telephone.

If You wish, You can make Your request using the CloudLegal DSAR Form. If We do hold information about You, We will:

  • Describe the information We hold and tell You why We are holding it;
  • Tell You who it could be shared with; and,
  • Provide You with a copy of the requested information in an easy to understand format.
