7. Manner and extent to which information shall be supplied under section 6

7.—

1. The obligation imposed by section 6(2)(c)(i) shall be complied with by supplying the data subject with a copy of the information in permanent form unless—

(a) the supply of such a copy is not possible or would involve disproportionate effort; or

(b) the data subject agrees otherwise, and where any of the information referred to in section 6(2)(c)(i) is expressed in terms which are not intelligible without explanation, the copy shall be accompanied by an explanation of those terms.

2. For the purposes of section 6(2)(c) “intelligible form”, in the case of a person with a disability (as defined by the Disabilities Act), means a form that would render the information readily accessible by the person, having regard to the special needs of the person, and regulations may prescribe circumstances in which the requirements of subsection (2)(c) shall be taken to have been met.

3. The information to be supplied pursuant to a request under section 6 shall be supplied by reference to the personal data in question at the time when the request is received, except that it may take account of any amendment or deletion made between that time and the time when the information is supplied, being an amendment or deletion that would have been made regardless of the receipt of the request.
