You must comply with a SAR without undue delay and at the latest within one month of receiving the request. You can extend the time to respond by a further two months if the request is complex or you have received a number of requests from the individual, eg other types of requests relating to individuals' rights.
There are possible circumstances where a data subject may not be entitled to certain information which they have requested, where an organisation relies on an exemption that is provided in Article 23 of the GDPR and detailed further in the Data Protection Act 2018.
