What a SAR gives you
A subject access request (SAR) is a UK GDPR right for individuals. Ask an organisation for the personal data it holds about you as a director, and it must respond, usually free, within one month. That includes your identity and credit-check data tied to you personally.
What it does not cover
A SAR is about personal data. Purely corporate records about the company are not personal data, so a SAR is not the tool for those. For lender data specifically, see what data a lender holds.
What it means for you
Credicorp lends to your company, not to you personally, and takes no personal guarantee. See business loans or apply online.
Frequently asked questions
Can my company make a subject access request?
A SAR is an individual right, so you make it as a person about your own personal data, not on behalf of the company for its corporate records.
How long does a SAR take?
Usually one month, extendable for complex requests. It is normally free unless the request is manifestly excessive.
