Opt-out of political parties processing your data

Political parties are hungry for sensitive personal data about your views, opinions, voting preferences and ideological outlook. Parties will actively seek to obtain this information from surveys and canvassing. They will also purchase commercially available data-sets and use automatic processing to try and predict your likely voting beliefs and intentions. Some people might be happy to volunteer this information to parties, or for political parties to purchase data about them.
