SCOOP:
Labour has had more complaints about its use of data than all the other parties put together
@OpenRightsGroup say the party is "failing on digital rights"

@OpenRightsGroup The ICO received 110 complaints about political parties in 2019
68 were about Labour
The next most-complained about parties were the Tories and the Lib Dems, with 12 each

@OpenRightsGroup The vast majority (46) of the complaints about Labour were about its lack of response to subject access requests
Reminder: this is the first paragraph of Labour's privacy policy 👇
@OpenRightsGroup Labour said it was "working hard to process outstanding requests"
It also claimed it was likely to have more complaints because it was the biggest party

@OpenRightsGroup The ICO told me it was on the case - it actually resent its statement to add that "particularly"
@OpenRightsGroup To be clear, these are just complaints, not ongoing ICO cases, so there's no proof of wrongdoing
But @MissIG_Geek put the worry perfectly: if Labour can't manage to fulfil its legal obligation to reply to subject access requests, what else could it be getting wrong?
