Your data, your right
Ask RAF Air Cadets HQ for the personal data it holds about you
Under UK data protection law you have the right to get a copy of your personal data. This is called a subject access request. It is free.
Fill in this form and we will email a formal request to the RAFAC HQ data protection team at RAFAC-HQ-DPA@mod.gov.uk. They will reply to you directly, normally within one calendar month.
Before you start, you will need
- your Cadet Identification Number (CIN) — ask your squadron staff if you don't know it
- your squadron, wing and region
- a photo or scan of your proof of ID, such as a passport, driving licence or birth certificate
If you are under 13, a parent or guardian can make the request for you.
