Your information
Telling us you support a political party is sensitive. Here's exactly how we handle it.
What we collect
Your name, contact details, postcode and — if you apply to stand — what you tell us in your application. We only ask for what we need.
Why
To get in touch about joining, volunteering or standing for election, and to review candidate applications.
Who sees it
If you signed up through a recruiter's link, that recruiter sees your details. Candidate applications are only seen by the head office team reviewing them. Your information is stored with the provider that runs this app.
Who decides
People decide on candidate applications — never the app. Reviewers read your original application, not just a summary.
How long we keep it
[To be confirmed by the party — how long each kind of record is kept before it's deleted.]
Your rights
You can ask to see what we hold about you, ask us to correct it, and where the law allows, ask us to delete it. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
Contact
[To be confirmed — the party's privacy contact name and email.]
Draft wording — to be checked by the party before going live. Not legal advice.
