Requests for Access to Personal Data Held by the Ministry of Defence Background The Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA98) provides access for individuals (including foreign nationals) to personal data held on them by any organisation. DPA98 does not give individuals access to personal data about other people or non-personal data. The MOD does not currently charge for requests made under DPA98 although in certain circumstances, requests for unstructured manual data may attract a fee. How your request will be processed Requests for personal data made in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) are dealt
with under DPA(98) if the applicant is also the person to whom the personal data relates. Requests relating to third
parties (i.e. living individuals other than the applicant) may also be considered in accordance with DPA98 or under FOIA if certain conditions apply.
DPA98 does not apply to requests for personal information relating to deceased individuals
and such requests will be considered in accordance with FOIA and other relevant legislation e.g. Human
Rights Act 1998 (HRA98), Access to Health Records Act 1990 (AHRA90). Helping us to respond to your request If you are a current Service or civilian employee of the MOD
