I currently attend a university in the UK and would like to request this information. But I'm not sure what the best way to do so is, who should I contact at my university (I presume the admissions department) and how should I request this information? Should I quote the Data Protection Act? Does anybody have experience doing this?
They have to check your ID. They're allowed to make a small charge. They'll want to know what information you want. You can try saying "everything you hold about me" and they will give you as much as they can, but that will miss some information. For example, that wouldn't include all the occurances of your face on CCTV. You can request that but I think you need to be specific abot the date / time and there might be a higher charge.
