Well. I was going to wait till my hosting ran out and changed hosts, but as it happens... Hostinger is based in Lithurania!

The servers were in the United States, though... so they're presently on their way to Germany.

Reform UK may breach data laws with free energy bills competition

Experts say Nigel Farage’s party is not being transparent about how it will use data it collects on people’s voting habits

How people have voted before and how they might in the future is special category data.

Reform UK gives no legal basis for asking this.

Free and fair elections depend on trust, transparency and genuine consent. Not competitions for material benefit that blur the line between campaigning and profiling.

There's no specific privacy policy for Reform UK's 'competition', only their general one that lacks detail.

We can't know what they'll do with the data they collect.

This is a breach of transparency, and may indicate they're also unlawfully repurposing the data collected for other electoral purposes.
