Requests from parents about their children's data
Before responding to a request like this, consider whether the child is mature enough to understand their data protection rights and the implications of making a request.
Children over the age of 12 are usually considered old enough, but it should be a case-by-case decision. If you think they are mature enough, you should usually respond directly to the child, but you may respond to the parent if the child authorises it or if it's evident that this is in the best interests of the child.
If you don't think the child is mature enough, respond to their parents, as they can exercise these access rights on their child's behalf.
When can you refuse a request?
This article gives some information around refusing a request for personal data.
Actions to undertake
When you refuse a request, you must:
- Respond within 1 month
- Explain why you're refusing the request
- Tell the individual they have the right to complain to the ICO
- Tell the individual they can seek to enforce their subject access right through the courts
You don’t have to confirm whether you hold the requested data.
