Event Description

Join data protection specialists, Loretta Maxfield and Morgan O’Neill, for a practical webinar exploring the impact of the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025 on subject access requests (SARs). SARs remain one of the most frequently exercised and resource-intensive rights under UK GDPR, often requiring organisations to search across multiple systems and respond within strict statutory deadlines.

With the Act introducing important changes, including the statutory requirement for reasonable and proportionate searches, new “stop the clock” provisions, and clarification of response timescales, now is the ideal time to review your organisation’s approach. Our speakers will explain what has changed, what remains the same, and the practical steps organisations should take to comply. We will also explore the growing impact of AI on the legal framing of data subject requests and discuss how organisations can assess what constitutes a reasonable and proportionate search in an increasingly complex digital environment.

The session will conclude with a live Q&A, providing an opportunity to discuss practical challenges and gain insights from Loretta and Morgan.
