- Contacting data subjects by telephone, letter or email to clarify requests
- Liaising with relevant business areas to clearly advise what information is to be collated and processed for the DSAR
- Redacting data in line with data protection regulations, and understanding and applying appropriate exemptions where applicable (detailing exemptions applied within your correspondence)
- Identifying and escalating concerns or breaches to the Data Protection Office (DPO)
- Ensuring a secure environment for transporting data requests, reducing risk of breaches through interaction with Information Security and DPGO teams
- Managing and sorting/redirecting incoming post and emails from multiple Outlook mailboxes (complaints and DSARs administration)
- Supporting staff in other business areas on DSAR recognition, handling and regulations
- Supporting the Data Protection Office when requested
- Managing key stakeholders with MI and other information
- Building relationships with internal stakeholders (CAEXP, Sales Distribution, Product etc.)
- Managing requests throughout the DSAR case registry ensuring the storage, arrangement and indexing of the completed DSAR work is retained in compliance with data protection legislation
