Data Protection Act 1998BackgroundThe Data Protection Act 1998 came fully into force on 1st March 2000. It outlines eight Data Protection Principles which must be complied with when collecting and holding personal data. Bournemouth University is registered as a Data Controller with the Information Commissioner. Your Right to Access Personal DataThe University must provide you with any personal data it holds about you either electronically or as part of a relevant filing system. Requests for InformationIf you wish to access your personal information you may make a request in writing using our Subject Access Request Form or by emailing the information officer. The University will meet your request within 40 days, providing no further clarification is needed. For further guidance see the leaflet Guide to accessing information held by Bournemouth University (PDF 57kb). FeesThe fee for a Subject Access Request is £10 and should be submitted with your request. Exam ScriptsRequests for copies of your exam scripts can be made direct to your Programme Administrator. You should make your request in writing, providing as much information about your exam as possible and enclosing the £10 Access fee. If you wish to access your exam script for a tutorial and do not wish to retain a copy, this can normally be arranged for no fee providing that the script is not taken away from the University. ComplaintsIf you are unhappy with the response you have received in relation to a Subject Access Request, you may appeal as outlined in Bournemouth University's Code of Practice on Access to Information (PDF 32kb). You may also complain to the Information Commissioner.
