In this section, we have set out a description of the ways we use your personal information and the types of data this includes. Under UK and European data protection law, we are required to tell you our “lawful basis” for processing your personal data and we have included this in each description.

When you do this, we may contact you (via the relevant platform) to ask if we can publish or use your content on our services or other platforms. We may use the information you provide, or your social media handle, to contact you if we want to find out more, to ask if we can use or share your content or to verify your age.Before we can accept or use your content, you must ensure you have the consent of anyone else featured. We may ask you to provide your email address to verify your age and that you are the legal parent or guardian of any children who may be featured in the content, as may be applicable under section 8 of this Privacy Policy (“Children Using Our Services”).If you contribute to the BBC’s editorial output on BBC.com, like BBC News, Sport or Radio (for example, if you comment on an article or send a photo or video to one of the News teams) this will be subject to the BBC Public Service privacy policy and terms, and not ours.Information we use:NameSocial media handle/username and contact detailsThe content you submit, which may feature you and/or othersDate of birth and/or age (e.g. for age verification)Lawful basis:Our legitimate interest in engaging with our audiences and promoting our brands and services.The performance of a contract and relationship between you and us.D. To send you news, offers and promotionsIn accordance with your preferences, we will send you newsletters you request and relevant offers and promotions relating to our content, brands and services and other companies in the BBC Studios group, like UKTV and Britbox International.These communications may be personalised to you based on what we think may interest you.You may need a BBC account to receive some newsletters and if you don’t have one, we will create one for you as part of the sign-up process.You can unsubscribe from newsletters and marketing emails by clicking on the link in the footer of the relevant email.We may also send notifications via your device or web browser, where you have specifically given permission when requested by your browser or device.Information we use:NameEmail addressAge range and/or birthday (e.g. to send a birthday email)Broad location (e.g. city or country)Profile (e.g. your preferences and interests inferred from your interactions with our services)Transaction(s), usage history and interactions (e.g. what you viewed, when, and how often, whether you opened or clicked an email etc)Communication historyMarketing and communications preferencesLawful Basis:Consent to send you newsletters you are subscribed to.Our legitimate interests to promote our content, brands and services, and those of our partners, and to manage your preferences.E. To personalise our content and newslettersWe use machine-learning based on aggregated usage data to recommend content we think you may be interested in. Data about your use of our services will be used to train the aggregate models used to create recommendations. We’ll also use an algorithm to decide when to show you prompts to register or subscribe, based on how likely we think you are to do so.To provide a better and more relevant service, we personalise your experience across our services and the emails you receive, in accordance with your cookie preferences. To do this, we rely on the usage data described in the “BBC Accounts” section above.Information we use:BBC account ID or device-level IDContact detailsAge range and/or birthdayAccount registration detailsBroad location – e.g. city or countryDevice identifiers, which may include your device’s IP address, user agent, and cookie IDs (see the Cookies Notice for the service you are using to learn more).Transaction(s), usage history and interactions (e.g. what you viewed, when, and how often, whether you opened or clicked an email etc)Profile (e.g. your preferences and interests inferred from your interactions with our services)Log dataLawful Basis:Our legitimate interests to promote our services and engage our consumers and audiences.Consent for the use of cookies, similar technologies and device identifiers in the UK/EEA.F. To market our products and services to you on social media and other sitesWe promote our shows and services on social media and other platforms subject to user settings and preferences on those platforms. Personalised messages and promotions on third party sites and platforms: We use different forms of targeting:(i) Where allowed by law and/or according to your selected preferences, we may use information such as your email address and usage behaviour to show you relevant marketing and promotional posts on social media and other sites such as retail outlets. For example, if you consume a lot of sport content, we might promote a new sports newsletter to you on your social media feed. When we do this, an encryption technique is applied to the data so the other platform can only read the data that it already knows about you to create a match to show you the relevant marketing message. We also use this process to exclude you from marketing campaigns that are not relevant to you. For example, if you already have an account with us, we will use this information to exclude you from promotions about registration.(ii) Sometimes we use IP address and usage information to establish a connection between our data and the data processed by social media platforms like Meta (Facebook and Instagram). This allows us to provide you with more relevant and tailored advertisements in your social media feeds and helps us track and measure how you interact with our advertisements on social media, ensuring that the content you see is more aligned with your interests.(iii) Sometimes we use social media technologies to track users from our services to the third-party platforms subject to your preferences and settings.If you have a BBC account, you can opt out from personalised messages on other sites.General audience segmentation: We may also use the audience segmentation tools of the third party platform to help us find a suitable audience – for example, we may use some information about our existing users to find new audiences on third party platforms. When we do this, we only receive aggregated anonymous reports on the performance of these posts, no personal information is shared with us.Any use of your information by third party platforms will be subject to their Privacy Policy and the preferences you have set for their platform(s).Information we use:For general marketing on social media, we use targeting tools available within the platform, such as to target a particular age band or location. Where we use your data to target particular audiences on third party platforms, we use the following data from your use of our services:Transaction(s), usage history and interactions (e.g. what you viewed, when, and how often, whether you opened or clicked an email etc)Device identifiers, which may include your device’s IP address, user agent, and cookie IDs (see the Cookies Notice for the service you are using to learn more)Profile (e.g. your preferences and interests inferred from your interactions with our services)Hashed email address (transformed into a unique identifier that is used to match our data to those known also by the platform)Lawful Basis:Our legitimate interests to promote our services and engage our consumers and audiences on third-party platforms subject to your marketing preferences and/or BBC Account settings.Consent to receive newsletters and targeted advertising.G. To show advertising to you on our services and understand how effective it isOur digital services feature advertising, including personalised advertising. This means the advertising you see is more relevant to you. It also means we can receive more revenue from our advertisers, allowing us to invest in our content. To create an ad profile for personalisation, unique identifiers (IDs) are used to tell your device apart from others – such as an ID stored by a cookie, or your Mobile Ad ID (a unique code set by your mobile operating system). We also use your BBC account information. For example, we may display adverts based on your age band or the country you registered in.We sometimes use hashed identifiers created from email or IP addresses to facilitate this matching process. A hashed identifier is one which has been transformed into a unique string of characters using a mathematical process called hashing. This process makes the identifier unreadable and secure, and the original email address cannot be easily retrieved thereby matching data in a more privacy-friendly way. We and our advertising partners use hashed email addresses to match users across different platforms without sharing actual email addresses. This helps to securely deliver personalised ads based on user preferences and behaviour.We will also show you ads relevant to the content you are consuming (contextual advertising). For example, if you are reading an article about travel then we might show you ads for airlines.Our advertising is generally managed in three ways:1. Premium in-house advertisingWe sell premium advertising space on our services directly to our advertising clients. This advertising is managed in-house driven by our own first party data that we collect from you or your device, subject to your privacy settings. This data includes registration information collected when you sign-up for our services (e.g. BBC Account), data based on what you consume on our services (e.g. articles read, adverts clicked on), technical information (e.g. browser, device and Internet Service Provider) and your location (at a country level). We use this data to create cohorts of users with shared characteristics (age, interests). These cohorts are then used to select relevant ads to show to you.We sometimes enable our clients to use their own customer data to personalise their ads. They may do this by matching data to their known customers or to look for ‘lookalike’ customers based on similar characteristics such as interests. When we do this, we use specialist technologies to keep data separated and secure, such as hashed identifiers.2. Automated advertising trading and personalisationWe (and our clients) work with a range of companies to show you ads, both personalised and non-personalised. This includes specialist platforms and networks to:sell our ad space in online auctions, e.g., ‘real-time bidding’select and deliver the ads, andcollate and manage the data needed to personalise ads.Generally, these companies will be acting as separate data controllers or may be acting under the instruction of their advertiser client rather than us.Depending on your browser and cookie settings, we share the following data when ads are requested and delivered on our digital services:IP addressCookie IDs or Mobile Ad IDPage URLDevice manufacturer, model and operating systemBrowser type and version and preferencesAdvertising delivered via our service providers can also include the use of data that has been collated and synced across multiple sites and sources. This may include the advertiser client’s own marketing database, demographics (e.g. from data brokers and credit reference agencies), online cross-site browsing behaviour, social media data, and offline data (e.g. loyalty card and retail transactions). We do this to create “cohorts” of particular types of audiences, i.e., groups of people who share similar characteristics, habits or interests.3. Advertising on third party servicesSometimes we buy ad space on other websites and services to run ads for our advertisers. For example, we might show you an ad before a video on our social media channels. That ad could be personalised in the same way as when you use our services directly.We also run ads in the podcasts we publish on a variety of different platforms, such as Spotify, Audible and Apple Podcasts. Subject to applicable law, we allow third parties such as our service providers and those of our advertiser clients to directly collect aggregated data or other information that is not reasonably linkable to you personally, in order to measure the performance of the ads and the effectiveness of the campaigns. For example, whether you go on to listen to another podcast after hearing an ad for it within a different podcast.Ad personalisation settingsOn all of our services that show personalised ads, you can opt out of the personalisation at any time in a variety of ways:By adjusting your browser settings,By adjusting your cookie settings for the particular website/service you are using and/orDisable the use of your email address for advertising in your BBC Account settings.If you opt-out or make any changes to your browser settings, you may continue to see non-personalised and contextual ads. Information we and our advertising partners use:Hashed email address (transformed into a unique identifier that can be used to personalise advertising across the internet)Age range Broad location – e.g. city or countryAdvertising ID (IDs created by us for sharing with advertising platforms to personalise and measure advertising)Device identifiers, which may include your device’s IP address, user agent, and cookie IDs (see the Cookies Notice for the service you are using to learn more).Page URL and referrer URL (i.e. the page that sent you, or referred you, to the page featuring the relevant ad)Usage history and interactions (e.g. the ad shown to you, when it was shown, and whether you clicked on it)Ad Profile (e.g. demographics and interests inferred from your interactions with our services and elsewhere online)Log dataSegmentation data from third parties (e.g. from data brokers and credit reference agencies like Experian)Lawful Basis:Our legitimate interests to generate revenue to help fund services (including supporting the BBC Public Service in the UK) and to promote our brand partners.Consent for the use of cookies and similar technologies in the UK/EEA.H. To measure how our services perform and are used in order to improve and innovateFor example, analysing your use of our products and services, what kind of services you might use in the future, the effectiveness of our marketing and emails and our customer relationships and experiences. We use specialist measurement and IT service providers to help us to do this. We and the BBC Public Service may also do this to facilitate research and development and support product/content innovation.We use machine learning, large language models and algorithms to derive meaning from our data, to segment our audiences (for example based on demographics and frequency of visits) and to create new products and services. We may use Inferred Information to do this.BBC Public Service tracks usage across BBC.com so it can report on how the BBC serves audiences globally to show it is fulfilling its public purposes, and for editorial purposes. This is subject to the BBC’s own privacy policy.Information we use:Device identifiers, which may include your device’s IP address, user agent, and cookie IDs (see the Cookies Notice for the service you are using to learn more)Page URL and referrer URL (i.e. the page that sent you, or referred you to our service)Transaction(s), usage history and interactions (e.g. what you viewed, when, and how often, whether you opened or clicked an email etc)Demographics, such as gender, age range, interests (e.g. through market research)Log dataLawful Basis:Our legitimate interests in studying how customers use our products and services, to keep our services updated and relevant, to develop our business and to inform our marketing strategy.Consent where your personal information is shared/disclosed directly in response to a research questionnaire/survey.Consent for the use of cookies and similar technologies in the UK/EEA.I. To conduct market research into our brands and services and to invite you to take partWe may use specialist agencies to carry out market research on our behalf. When we do this, the agencies usually just share information with us which does not identify individuals. If this is not the case (for example because you appear in a video or a name is included alongside a comment), then this would be explained to you before you participate.If we are carrying out our own research, we may directly collect some information from you in order to facilitate the project, e.g., name, contact details and demographic information.We also carry out research relating to actors and public figures and when we do this, we will receive information about public opinion of such people.Information we use:For consumers and audiences: Sometimes a first name and age/location, but generally no identifiable information unless otherwise explained to you at the time you take part.For public figures: name and public opinions and perceptions about them.Lawful Basis: Our legitimate interest to better understand how our brands and on-screen talent are perceived and to engage with our customers and audiences.J. To measure how people perceive and engage with our brands on social mediaWhen you post about us, our brands or programmes on social media, we may collate and report on this using a specialist platform so that we can better understand public perception of our brands. This is sometimes known as “social listening”.Information we use:Social media username/handlePost contentsLawful Basis:Our legitimate interest to better understand how our brands are perceived and to engage with our customers/audiences.If you choose to include sensitive information then we rely on the fact that this has been manifestly made public when you choose to share your personal information publicly on social media.Where we propose using your personal information for any other uses or for any other lawful basis, we will ensure that we notify you first and get your consent as appropriate.Back to top4. WHEN WE SHARE YOUR INFORMATIONA. Information shared within the BBC groupTo improve your experience of our services and brands, and to enable us to cross-promote our services, your information may be shared between companies in the BBC group (including BBC Public Service and BBC Studios companies such as UKTV and Britbox International) for the purposes of research, analysis, marketing and ad-serving. Wherever possible this information will be anonymised or aggregated.In addition, the different companies within the BBC Studios group and the BBC Public Service provide data processing services to each other. For example, most of our newsletter subscription services are managed by a team in the BBC Studios Distribution UK headquarters on behalf of the group. As explained in section 3 above, the BBC account service is managed by BBC Public Service in the UK. If you are in the UK and register for an account with one of the commercial services run by us, BBCS Public Service will therefore share a copy of your data with us.

Information shared with our suppliersWe use third parties to perform business functions on our behalf, such as sending our newsletters, hosting our online services, providing our customer services and fulfilling product orders and processing payments. Our suppliers must comply with our instructions, and not use your personal information for their own business purposes.C. Information shared via third party embedded contentInformation shared through cookies and similar technologiesWe work with third parties who use cookies and similar technologies to provide a variety of services to us, including to: measure and analyse use of and engagement with our services and emails; deliver and personalise our online marketing and third-party advertising on our services.

To learn more, please read the Cookies Notice provided for the service you are using.D. Information shared with other partiesWhere required or allowed by law, we may disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies, government/regulatory bodies, internet service providers and content protection organisations without your consent.

WHERE WE STORE YOUR INFORMATIONAs a British company, most of our services are operated from the UK but we have teams across the world, including the USA. As described in the previous section, we may share your information with other companies in the BBC Group or with contracted third-party service providers. These companies may be located in, or use IT equipment located in, a country where the data protection laws are different to the UK. Where this is the case, we will take steps to ensure that your information receives an appropriate level of protection.We use service providers, and share data with advertising platforms, that are located outside the UK and European Economic Area (EEA), primarily in the USA. We require recipients of your personal information to provide a similar level of protection when transferring personal information out of the EEA.We will only transfer your personal information outside the UK and EEA to countries with equivalent levels of data protection and/or with appropriate safeguards in place to help ensure a level of protection, as approved by the UK Government and European Commission. This means that we may use companies based in the USA that have certified with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (and UK Extension) or we use contractual terms approved by the UK Government and European Commission.Back to top6.
