- Where data comes from- as above
- Who gets to see your data
Internal use: Your personal data may be disclosed to our employees working on your production.
External use: We will only disclose your personal data outside our company if disclosure is consistent with a ground for processing on which we rely and doing so is lawful and fair to you. We may disclose your data if it is necessary for our legitimate interests as an organisation or the interests of a third party (but we will not do this if these interests are over-ridden by your interests and rights in particular to privacy).
Specific circumstances in which your personal data may be disclosed include:
- Disclosure to external recipients of electronic communications (such as emails) which contain your personal data.
- Disclosure of aggregated and anonymised diversity data to relevant regulators as part of a formal request.
- If you have an on-screen role (including any appearance in a ‘behind the scenes’ or ‘making of’ documentary for the Programme), disclosure of footage, images, or audio recordings of you as part of the broadcasting, distribution and marketing of the production. Or, whether you have an on-screen or off-screen role, to allow us to credit your role.
- Retaining your Personal Data- PLEASE SEE RECORDS RETENTION SCHEDULE ABOVE
- Access to your Personal Data and other rights.
We try to be as open as we reasonably can about personal data that we process. If you would like specific information, just ask us.
You also have a legal right to make a “subject access request”. If you exercise this right and we hold personal data about you, we are required to provide you with information on it, including:
- Giving you a description and copy of the personal data
- Telling you why we are processing it
If you make a subject access request and there is any question about who you are, we may require you to provide information from which we can satisfy ourselves as to your identity.
As well as your subject access right, you may have a legal right to have your personal data rectified or erased, to object to its processing or to have its processing restricted. If you have provided us with data about yourself, for example your address, you have the right to be given the data in machine readable format for transmitting to another data controller. This only applies if the ground for processing is Consent.
If we have relied on consent as a ground for processing, you may withdraw consent at any time – though if you do so that will not affect the lawfulness of what we have done before you withdraw consent
- Complaints
If you have complaints relating to our processing of your personal data, you should raise these with your key contact at the production in the first instance. You may also raise complaints with your statutory regulator. For contact and other details ask your key contact at the production.
