Thanks Chris, and of course I understand that. Retaining contact information is totally
fine as long as you need it to do what you want do do. The question is how long you have
to retain it. Here you are going to retain it indefinitely, even if there won’t be any
contact at all with regards to the nomination. And it is up to the people to ask for
deletion. Another (and yes, as said, a very European) option would be to delete this data
after the survey and all communication based on it is done. It would be great if we accept
and consider in future surveys that our views and concepts about personal data like names,
birthdays and mail addresses differ and that people may shy away from concepts that look
like collecting personal data to just have it in stock.
And I stop now. I didn’t want to hijack this initiative for a side aspect. It's great
and I'm looking forward to see great projects of our movement, done by people in other
parts of the world.
Alice.

Hi Alice,
I'm sorry I didn't reply to your question sooner. We retain the
contract information so we can reach out if we have more clarifying
questions. The survey didn't properly indicate this, but those fields are
optional. You can submit a nomination without filling out those fields, but
we may be unable to follow up.
Yours,
Chris Koerner (he/him)
