In some circumstances you may not be entitled to all of the information held about you, in these circumstances we would need to satisfy one of the exemptions contained within the DPA.
If we refuse your request on the basis of an exemption we will provide you with a justification for this decision. You are entitled to ask for an internal review of such a decision and may also make a complaint to the Information Commissioneror seek to enforce your right of access through a judicial remedy.
