In the UK,how do I find out who holds information about you and how do you get to see the information?

Question

Also,what sort of people would be likely to hold that information?

Answer 1

Contact the Ministry of Justice.  It might come under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act (2000)

Another useful option is the Citizen's Advice Bureau, which can inform you of what institutions or avenues of approach you should take.

Don't forget also an Ombudsman if you feel you're being obstructed.

Answer 2

I don't think that you can.  All government agencies have information on you, as do all companies you have ever worked for or bought something from.

Answer 3

You could appropriate enquiries under the Data Protection Act.  

Answer 4

You can contact me. I hold the following information about you:

You are g*y.

You have a criminal record for rape.

You do not have a job.

You regularly spank your monkey in full view of your neighbours.

You are not on the electoral register as you do not vote.

You are clinically retarded.

You are impotent.

You have never had s*x (blow-up doll do not count).

You have no parents.

Further information will be available upon request.

Answer 5

Personal data, who holds what, & what they do with it is regulated by the Information Commissioner. This link may help you
