The types of Personal Information displayed on our websites Electoral roll data The electoral roll consists of approximately 45 million persons registered to vote in the UK. The roll is collated through August to October each year and published in December. We purchase a copy of the register each year but only for those persons who have given consent to appear via their electoral roll registration card The open edited register is an extract of the electoral register and is publicly available for examination. The roll is split into 2 registers: • 1/ The Full Electoral Roll. This is for use by organisations such as Credit Reference Agencies to validate credit applications and for identity verification. We do not have access to the Full Electoral Register from 2002 onwards. • 2/. Edited electoral roll. This is a version of the electoral roll that is available for sale to commercial organisations. The persons recorded on this register have decided not to exercise their right to opt out of publication on this register. This is the version of the electoral roll that is used by 1st Locate. We do not have access to the full version. The edited electoral roll contains around 70% of the persons recorded on the full unedited roll. These persons have consented to their details appearing on the edited electoral roll.. Like many other organisations, we purchase the edited consented version of the electoral roll each year. Electronic versions of the edited roll are usually available around April/May each year. • It can be bought by any person, company or organisation. The personal data in the register must always be processed in line with the obligations of current data protection legislation. A person's name and address will be included in the open edited register if the option to be included is selected on the voter registration card, thereby giving consent to be included on the edited register. Opting out of the open edited register does not affect your right to vote but may prevent some organisations being able to confirm your details. Legitimate uses of the edited register: - To prevent yourself from being published on future edited electoral rolls you should contact the Electoral Registration department of your local council or follow the guidance at AboutMyVote Your Rights • You have the right to request a copy of any information that we currently hold about you. • In order to receive such information please write to us and include your contact details including address.

There has been some criticism of the open edited register being made available to direct marketing firms relating to junk direct mail. Remember, there is additional legislation in place to protect you from this and registration at the Mailing Preference Service will prevent organisations from being able to send you unsolicited mailings. There is a similar scheme in place to prevent unsolicited telephone calls - Telephone preference service Withdrawing access to the open edited electoral register will cause difficulties for many organisations and companies and ultimately the consumer.
