This privacy notice relates to the personal data that was processed by the Office of Rory Stewart, while he was Member of Parliament for Penrith and The Border between 2010 – 2019, in relation to casework and policy queries.
Who is the Data Controller?
The Data Controller is Rory Stewart, Member of Parliament for Penrith and The Border.
What does the Office do?
The office discharges the duties and functions of an elected Member of Parliament. As part of this work, we conduct constituency casework and respond to policy queries, for which we must process personal data of our constituents.
How do we process data?
This Office processes constituents’ data under the lawful basis of public task.

In rare cases, we may also process data under the lawful basis of legitimate interest.
In any event, we are committed to ensuring that the information we collect and use is appropriate for this purpose, and does not constitute an invasion of your privacy.
Will we share your data to anyone else?
We may pass your personal data on to a third-party in the course of dealing with you, such as local authorities, government agencies, public bodies, health trusts, regulators, and so on. Any third parties that we may share your data with are obliged to keep your details securely, and to use them only for the basis upon which they were originally intended. When they no longer need your data to fulfil this service, they will dispose of the details in line with our procedures.
We will not use your personal data in a way that goes beyond your reasonable expectations in contacting us.
For how long will you keep my personal data?

What rights do I have to my personal data?
