Data Policy

Responsible handling of election data

Campaign data is sensitive. IEMS should be configured with clear purpose, authority, minimisation, retention and security controls.

01

Data principles

Purpose limitation

Collect and use data only for documented, lawful campaign purposes.

Data minimisation

Store only information genuinely required for authorised operations.

Access control

Limit data by role, geography and job responsibility.

Accuracy & correction

Maintain processes to validate, update and correct records.

Retention & deletion

Define retention schedules and securely remove data when no longer required.

Accountability

Use approvals, logs, incident response and periodic access reviews.
