Requesting Your Data From the Municipality

Each municipality has their own preferred method to request access to your data/ submit a data subject access request (DSAR). Click on a city to find specific information on how to request your data from the municipality there. If you don’t see the municipality you work in listed below, go to the municipality’s web page. You can usually find a link to their privacy page or privacy statement at the very bottom of the home page. If you don’t see it, you can also search for “privacy” in the municipality website’s search function. Every privacy statement should have a section explaining what your data subject rights are and how you can make use of them. This includes how to request access to your data.

Remember! If you send a request through e-mail, physical letter, or by visiting in person, you must bring a valid proof of identification. Copies are not always accepted. Please contact the municipality in question if you are unsure of its specific data access request requirements. You can find template access request letters here.

Once your request is received, the municipality must respond within one month.
