Please see the attached spreadsheet for our response. In response to your
questions on whether we have responded in full, please note that our
systems do not record this. We respond to each request with the
information which we consider to be the personal data of the requestor.
Many requests include some redactions of material which is not considered
their personal data and therefore not released.
5- The number of requests regarding data subject rights such as requests
for erasure or rectification by month from April 2017 to May 2019?
Since May 2018 to May 2019 we are aware of one request which has been
received by a central department to delete personal data. Requests may
have been to other areas of the University and would usually be actioned
locally.
6- Could you break down these requests by month by subject right?
The right to be informed
The right of access
The right to rectification
The right to erasure
The right to restrict processing
The right to data portability
The right to object
Rights in relation to automated decision making and profiling.
7- How many staff (FTE) do you have to respond to freedom of information
and data subject requests?
We have a team based approach to answering requests for information with 5
people able to work on these responses in addition to other duties. We are
unable to supply the FTE equivalent as the team based approach allows us
to remain flexible depending on the level or complexity of requests.
8- In which department do these staff sit? E.G. IT, Legal, Governance,
Executive support
The Department of Strategic Planning and Governance
