Your rights

You have a key right to learn and have access to what personal information is held by YT and able to ask us for details on this. When we receive such a request we will endeavour to provide you with these details without delay and at the latest within one month of receipt. We may extend the period of compliance by a further two months where requests are complex or numerous. In such instances the Data Protection Officer will inform you within one month of the receipt of the request and explain why the extension is necessary.

When YT receives a subject access request we will provide a copy of the information held free of charge. YT may charge a reasonable fee to comply with requests for further copies of the same information. This does not mean that we will charge for all subsequent access requests rather that YT reserves the right to charge a fee based on the administrative cost of providing the information.

If after reviewing a request the Data Controller believes a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, particularly if it is repetitive, then YT may charge a ‘reasonable fee’ which will be decided on a case by case basis. In certain circumstances YT may even refuse to respond to such requests.
