Has Your Personal Data Been Mishandled?

If an organisation has misused your personal data, ignored a subject access request, shared incorrect information or failed to explain a privacy issue, clear evidence can make the complaint easier to review.

Data protection evidence

What evidence helps a GDPR or data protection complaint?

The strongest data complaints set out what personal data was involved, what request or complaint was made, how the organisation replied, and what harm or inconvenience followed.

Subject access and request records

Keep copies of subject access requests, dates sent, reminder emails, identity checks and the response or missing information.

Incorrect or mishandled data

Screenshots, account records, letters and decisions can help show whether data was inaccurate, misused, shared or retained unfairly.

Impact and complaint history

Keep complaint replies, reference numbers, evidence of distress, financial loss, account problems or practical disruption caused by the data issue.
