Make a complaint about how we have handled your personal data.

Before you make a complaint, check that your issue is something we deal with.

We only handle complaints about:

  • how we handled your data subject rights request (for example, a Subject Access Request)
  • suspected unlawful use, sharing, storage or collection of your personal data
  • concerns about personal data security or a data breach affecting your information

We don't deal with complaints about:

  • general service complaints, not relating to your personal data
  • Freedom of Information (FOI) or Environmental Information Regulations (EIR)
  • use of data that is not considered personal data, as detailed in UK GDPR Article 4(1)

To make a complaint or give feedback about these go to Other complaints and feedback.

If you'd still like to make a complaint or give feedback complete our online form.
