The Freedom of Information Act 2014 (the Act) provides the following statutory rights:
- the right to access records held by public bodies covered by the Act;
- the right to have personal information in a record amended, where such information is incomplete, incorrect or misleading;
- the right to obtain reasons for decisions taken by public bodies affecting the person.
These rights mean that from 21 April 1998, people can seek access to personal information held about them, no matter when the information was created, and to other records containing non-personal information created after 21 April 1998.
