Privacy and Political Campaigning - Understanding Your Rights and Responsibilities

The ICO states that political parties should make it clear when they are using profiling techniques, and provide individuals with an opportunity to object. When sharing social media advertising, it should be made clear until to people that their personal data is being used. Furthermore, if a party or candidate requests survey or petition data, they should make their intentions clear about how it will be used in the future. They also highlight that the full electoral register does not include information on nationality and age.
