Challenging Reform’s failure on data rights
Nigel Farage’s Reform refuses to tell people whether it has their data and doesn’t delete it when they ask. We’re challenging Reform so it respects data law.
When we gave people tools to find out what data political parties were holding on them in the run-up to the general election, Nigel Farage’s Reform UK was by far the worst, ignoring the vast majority of requests.
Not only did Reform fail to respond to requests for the data that they hold on individuals – as all organisations that hold data on individuals are required to do by law – but they also refused to delete that data.
No organisation, especially a political party, should be allowed to ignore fundamental data rights.
