Information about data processing for consultative ballots
Your online consultative ballot form is linked to your membership number to ensure the ballot is run fairly and each eligible member gets one vote.
The ballot form also asks you to check that we hold the correct information for your employer, workplace and job category, as these details would be needed if members vote to progress to a formal industrial action ballot and we will use this to update the employment details on your membership record.
The details of your individual vote in the ballot will be anonymised by Unite’s research officer when the consultative ballot closes.
The ballot result shared with Unite’s national and regional officers or elected representatives will show the overall ballot result and voter turnout by employer, workplace and occupation only. Your individual voting record will not be stored by Unite after the ballot has closed and the result declared.
For full information regarding Unite’s data processing of member information, your information rights and how to contact our data protection team, see Unite’s full privacy policy.
