What Are They Saying About You at Work? Find Out — Legally

Ever had that gut feeling something’s going on behind closed doors at work?

Maybe you’ve been passed over for a promotion… pushed out quietly… or treated unfairly — but don’t have the proof. Guess what?

🎯 You might be able to find out exactly what’s been said about you — legally.

Enter the DSAR: the Data Subject Access Request (also called a SAR or GDPR request). It’s your legal right to request all personal data a company holds about you.

What Can You Ask For?

More than you’d think.

  • 📧 Emails that mention you
  • 💬 Slack or Teams messages
  • 📝 Meeting notes and performance reviews
  • 📱 Even WhatsApp chats on work phones

Yes — that group chat where your name might have come up? You can ask for it.

Why It’s a Game-Changer

Using a DSAR, you can:

  • See what’s been said about you in decisions that affected your job
  • Spot discrimination, bias, or misconduct you weren’t told about
  • Gather evidence for grievances, tribunals, or unfair dismissal claims

It’s not snooping. It’s your right.

How UWA Can Help

We’ve helped workers draft clear DSAR letters, understand what to ask for, and challenge companies that try to dodge the rules.
