Data mining from Facebook and the electoral registry and chucking this data into your own private database, for private party use, use that no one has given permission to, is a clear breach of GDPR. Anyone that has data belonging to you HAS to be upfront about it and if requested, they should delete that data ASAP when requested. I hope the data protection regulator takes them to the cleaners.

Anyone who provides such information must be given all the T&C's of what and how their data is treated. I doubt some dude on Facebook is going to do that.

When data is collected, data subjects must be clearly informed about the extent of data collection, the legal basis for processing of personal data, how long data is retained, if data is being transferred to a third-party and/or outside the EU, and any automated decision-making that is made on a solely algorithmic basis. Data subjects must be informed of their privacy rights under the GDPR, including their right to revoke consent to data processing at any time, their right to view their personal data and access an overview of how it is being processed, their right to obtain a portable copy of the stored data, their right to erasure of their data under certain circumstances, their right to contest any automated decision-making that was made on a solely algorithmic basis, and their right to file complaints with a Data Protection Authority. As such, the data subject must also be provided with contact details for the data controller and their designated data protection officer, where applicable.[26][27]

Hạ Long Bay wrote: » Have you any reason to disbelieve this poster?
FrancieBrady wrote: » Yes. The idea that a party the size of SF would have voluntary members who would tolerate that. The poster I mentioned explained the process in a calm and reasoned way without sensationalist redtop tropes.
