Pretty much as above. Obviously I don't want to potentially spoil my sibling's application, but neither do I want to have my personal information (when I moved house, where I live, my phone number, social media accounts etc) stored and used unnecessarily.

Can I exercise my right to erasure from the application process after they've done their checks? Given that it's not my application, who would I write to in order to request this?

I've nothing to hide, but the whole 'nothing to hide means nothing to worry about' thing is quite a slope into what we've been seeing with online privacy being eroded lately and as a matter of principle I feel it's important to be able to retain control over the way my personal data is stored and used, especially when it's not for something I requested.

Edited to add: I don't want to hamper my sibling's application; despite what some people think, so I will be providing this information. What I don't want is for my personal information to be sat around for ages for no good reason after the application process has completed. What I'd like to do is wait until they're either successful or unsuccessful, and then make the application to be forgotten.
