== GDPR and data protection (EU) == | |||
ICE List Wiki operates in the public interest and seeks to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable. | |||
=== Lawful basis for processing === | |||
Under Article 6 of the GDPR, ICE List Wiki processes limited personal data on the following lawful bases: | |||
* '''Legitimate interest''' – to operate, secure, and maintain the integrity of a public-interest documentation project | |||
* '''Consent''' – where users voluntarily provide optional information (such as an email address) | |||
* '''Public interest, freedom of expression, and archiving''' – for the documentation, verification, and long-term preservation of information relating to immigration enforcement | |||
Only the minimum amount of data necessary to fulfill these purposes is processed. | |||
=== Data subject rights === | |||
Under GDPR, individuals may have the right to: | |||
* Access personal data held about them | |||
* Request correction of inaccurate personal data | |||
* Request restriction of processing in specific circumstances | |||
* Object to certain forms of processing | |||
* Withdraw consent where consent was the lawful basis | |||
Requests may be submitted to the site administrators through the project’s official contact channels. | |||
=== Limits to erasure and anonymization === | |||
ICE List Wiki maintains a permanent public revision history as part of its journalistic and archival function. | |||
As a result: | |||
* Edit histories cannot be deleted or retroactively anonymized | |||
* Content forming part of the public record may not be erased where removal would undermine transparency, accountability, or historical integrity | |||
* Requests for erasure are assessed on a case-by-case basis, balancing individual rights against the public interest | |||
These limitations are consistent with GDPR exemptions for freedom of expression, information, and archiving in the public interest. | |||
=== Data minimization and security === | |||
ICE List Wiki applies strict data minimization practices: | |||
* No unnecessary personal data is collected | |||
* Access to technical data such as IP addresses is restricted to site administrators | |||
* Administrative access is limited to trusted project operators only | |||
=== International access and processing === | |||
ICE List Wiki is accessible globally. Depending on server location and administrator access, data may be processed or accessed outside the European Union. | |||
All processing is carried out in accordance with the principles described in this policy. | |||
=== Supervisory authorities === | |||
If you believe your data protection rights under GDPR have been violated, you may have the right to lodge a complaint with your local EU data protection authority. | |||
Users are encouraged to contact the project administrators first so concerns can be addressed directly and transparently. | |||
