Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what the policy of the Government is on the citizen's right to receive their browsing history as part of requests for data held on them by organisations.
Consumers' rights with regard to the collection, processing and disclosure of their personal data are governed by the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA). The DPA provides rights for consumers in respect of their personal data, including the right to request a copy of information which an organisation holds about them - commonly known as 'subject access'. An individual can exercise this right under Section 7 of the DPA, by making a written subject access request to the organisation.
