Privacy
Policy
I am the MP
for Mitcham and Morden. As your MP, it is important that I and my office can
keep in touch with constituents about my work, take up casework on their behalf
and ask for views on local issues.
As a Labour
MP I also have access to other information which I or my office, or volunteers
working with me, will use for campaigning purposes or for communicating with
Labour Party members. In respect of that
information, the Labour Party is the data controller, and you should consult their
privacy policy (https://labour.org.uk/privacy-policy/ ) for details of what information
they hold, why, and how they use and process that information.
This page
explains how I collect and use personal data, the legal basis for doing so and
provides information about your rights in respect of your personal data for
which I am the data controller.
Data
collection and use
The office of
Siobhain McDonagh MP will only collect and use personal information for the
specific purpose for which it has been obtained.
I will
undertake casework using personal information provided by or on behalf of a
constituent. It may be necessary for me to share your information with third
party organisations. I will only do where it is necessary and reasonable to do
so, and I will share only the minimum amount of personal information necessary
in order to advocate on your behalf. Please see the “who I share your
information with” section for further details.
When
registering with this website or by completing a form or survey sent to you by
my office, you may be asked for personal information. In each case, I will ask
for your explicit consent to use your information, and I will only use it for
the purposes for which you provide it.
I may
communicate by post, email, phone or text message about my work and to give you
the latest news on my campaigns and opportunities to get involved. I have a
legal entitlement to the full electoral register for my constituency, which
includes the full name and address of every registered elector and I may write
to you in connection with my activities as an MP.
I will only
send emails, texts or contact you by telephone where you have provided explicit
consent for me to do so. You may withdraw your consent or unsubscribe at any
time from communications in any medium by contacting my office or by using the
unsubscribe option I provide in all communications.
I will not
use personal data for any automated decision making or profiling.
Who I
share your information with:
When I take
up casework on your behalf, it may be necessary for me to share the details you
provide with government departments, local authorities and other public bodies . I will only share as much
information as is necessary to take your case forward. If you have any
questions or concerns about how information you provide as part of a casework
request is used, please contact my office for more information.
Other than
in the circumstances above, I will not share personal information with other
organisations without your explicit consent.
In order to
communicate with you about my work as the MP for Mitcham and Morden, it may be
necessary for me to transfer personal information to countries or jurisdictions
outside the EU. In each case, I will take steps to ensure that the suppliers I
use comply with the General Data Protection Regulation or are subject to the
Privacy Shield scheme agreed between the European Union and the United States.
Retention
of personal data
I will only
keep your personal information for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the
purposes described in this policy. Information relating to casework will only
be retained for as long as it is necessary to resolve or otherwise complete
your request, although I may retain a minimum amount of information about
closed cases in the event that you contact me again for help.
If you have
consented to receive information about my work, I will only retain your
personal information so long as I am the MP for Mitcham and Morden, or you ask
not to be contacted further.
I will
regularly review the personal information I hold to ensure that its use is
necessary and proportionate.
