8. How can personal data be accessed?

Personal data is specifically excluded under the Act. However the Data Protection Act 1998 entitles you to be told what personal information Strathclyde Partnership for Transport holds about you. You can also obtain a copy of the data held. These rights are subject to exemptions and are subject to the payment of a fee of £10.

It is helpful if any requests under the Data Protection Act 1998 state specifically what information is being sought and that it is being sought under the Data Protection Act in order that the request can be processed efficiently. Please note that the requests for personal data must be in writing - e-mail and telephone requests are not acceptable.

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport may require proof of identity before responding to your request.

Data Protection issues are dealt with by the UK Information Commissioner. Contact details are:
