THE DATA CHASE: DSAR compliance under the UK’s new data law

To kick-off our Privacy Puzzle DSAR webinar mini-series, The DPO Centre’s Matt Spall is joined by Angie Crush - Head of Employment Law

at Omny Law to discuss the changes introduced by the UK’s Data Use and Access Act 2025 (DUAA) and how your organisation might be affected. 

If your team already follows best practice for Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), your processes may not need a complete overhaul. But you need to be aware of some important updates, including: 

• Searches must be reasonable and proportionate 
• Legal exemptions must be clearly explained to individuals 
• Individuals can now challenge exemption decision via the ICO 

Whether you’re designing a new DSAR process or fine-tuning for DUAA updates, this session will help you remain compliant and avoid the common pitfalls that lead to delays and complaints.

We will also occasionally contact you about services and content that we feel are both relevant and of interest to you.
