Your Rights to Access Information
UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR)

Subject Access Requests
A Subject Access Request or SAR is a way for you to find out what personal information Eastlight processes about you. You can request a copy of this information, along with any supplementary details linked to your home.
To make a request, please complete the Data Subject Access Request Form below or contact us at DPA-FOI@eastlighthomes.co.uk.
Once we have verified your identity and the details of your request, we will respond within one calendar month. If your request is complex, we may extend the deadline by up to two additional months, and we will inform you if an extension applies.
Freedom of Information
Eastlight is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) because, as a housing provider, we are not considered a public authority under the Act. This means we are not legally required to comply with its provisions. However, in the interest of openness and transparency, Eastlight may respond to FOIA-style information requests where it is deemed appropriate.
Our Publication Scheme outlines the information we routinely make available, including policies and strategies, meeting minutes, annual reports, performance data, and financial information.
If you wish to make an information request, please contact us with the details of the information you require. We will review your request and determine what information can be shared. Once your request is received, we will respond as promptly as possible.
