Owing to an extraordinary security flaw in the Conservative Party Conference app, Evolve Politics have been able to acquire the personal information - including mobile numbers - of numerous Tory MPs and journalists.

The Conservative Party have just committed a huge GDPR breach.
We will be reporting the Conservative Party to the Information Commissioners Office in due course.

Fines of up to €20,000,000 can be issued for the most serious GDPR breaches.

This breach is without doubt extremely serious.
The ICO have responded saying:

"We are aware of an incident involving a Conservative Party conference app and we will be making enquiries with the Conservative Party."

"Organisations have a legal duty to keep personal data safe and secure. Under the GDPR they must notify the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of a personal data breach, if it could pose a risk to people’s rights and freedoms."
