Special Rules & Common Mistakes
- •ICO counts the deadline from the day of receipt — NOT the day after (differs from EU GDPR)
- •Deadline is 1 calendar month from receipt date
- •"Month" means the same date next month (e.g., Jan 15 → Feb 15)
- •If the equivalent date doesn't exist (e.g., Jan 31 → Feb), use the last day of the month
- •If deadline falls on a weekend or UK bank holiday, it extends to the next business day
- •You must inform the data subject of an extension within the original deadline period
- •Manifestly unfounded or excessive requests may be refused or charged a reasonable fee
