Most data controllers I speak to have the same blind spot.

They've invested in DSAR tooling. They've got a ROPA. They've trained their staff on breach notification.

And then I ask: what happens when a data subject formally complains about how you've handled their personal data?

The usual answer is a shared inbox, a spreadsheet, and a hope that someone remembers to respond before the statutory window closes.

Under the UK's Data Use and Access Act (DUAA), that isn't going to be good enough. Complainants now have a clearer, faster route to escalate to the ICO — and controllers have a defined response window to evidence.

No log of when the complaint arrived. No timestamped acknowledgement. No record of who triaged it, what was decided, or how the outcome was communicated. That's the audit trail the regulator will want.

So we built the missing module.

🟧 DUAA Complaints — coming soon to Privacy360

A single, defensible workflow that:

• Captures every complaint through a branded, embeddable form scoped to the data controller

• Auto-acknowledges the complainant in writing with their reference and statutory response date

• Signposts UK complainants to the ICO from the first email — because their right to escalate isn't ours to hide

• Tracks every complaint against its statutory SLA, with daily warnings before any breach

• Logs the full conversation — inbound, outbound, internal notes — against an audit-ready record

• Enforces an outbound communication before any complaint can be marked resolved

And because Formiti operates as your outsourced Global DPO, we don't just give you the platform. We pick up the file, liaise with your internal teams, draft the response, and close it out — while you keep the evidence trail.

Privacy without the operational overhead. Compliance without the rota.

Live in Privacy360 in the coming weeks. If you'd like an early look or want to be on the launch list, drop me a message.

If your business isn’t established in the EU, GDPR Article 27 still creates a practical obligation: you must appoint an EU representative to provide a clear compliance point of contact. Our guide breaks down what Article 27 requires, how to choose the right representative, and the operational steps needed to keep your cross-border privacy posture audit-ready. For non-EU organisations expanding into the EU/UK, this isn’t theoretical—it’s governance that reduces regulatory friction and strengthens accountability. Pairing this with broader privacy duties (including AI-related requirements where relevant) helps keep your compliance programme coherent, not fragmented.
