When I asked the Data Protection Commissioner about the information gathered by phone companies, she told me there is no specific provision under the Communications (Retention of Data) Act 2011 that obliges her office to notify a person about whom a request has been made for access to his or her telecommunications. We have been communicating with the phone company 3. According to a reply we got the other today, when the company receives requests from data subjects equivalent to requests which had been made, it considers that such requesters do not generally have a right under section 4 of the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 to data about information requests received by it from State agencies which the company may possess. What do the witnesses think of that?
