• Current and former public positions
• Documented public actions relevant to democratic accountability
• Accountability score (analytical assessment)
• Publicly available photographs

Victims and witnesses:

• Processed ONLY with explicit consent
• Anonymized by default (pseudonyms used unless consent given)
• Contact information never published; accessible only to supervisory staff

Website visitors:

• Minimal analytics data (if applicable)
• No tracking cookies without consent

Under UK GDPR, profiled individuals have the right to:

• Access their data
• Request correction of inaccuracies
• Request erasure (subject to our legitimate interest assessment)
• Object to processing

Profiles and incident records are retained as long as they serve the public accountability purpose. Victim data is deleted upon request at any time.

We may update this policy. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date.
