Privacy Statement
This statement explains how we may collect and use information about you through our website. It covers how we use the personal information about you that is collected when you use bbcworldnews.com and gives you information about cookies; BBC World News use of cookies; and how you may reject such cookies.
If you have any questions about our privacy policies, want to exercise your right to see a copy of the information that we hold about you, or think that information we hold about you may need to be corrected, please contact: BBC World News Web, Woodlands, 80 Wood Lane, London W12 0TT, U.K.
As you would expect, we monitor visits to our website, principally so that we can make sure that it is easy to navigate, identify the areas that are of particular interest to visitors and generally improve the site and our services. The information that we collect in this process will not identify you as an individual. We do not seek to identify individual visitors unless they volunteer their contact details through one of the forms on the site.
The site uses cookies - small data files which are downloaded on your hard disk so that the site can monitor your access to the site and recognise that you have visited the site before, without identifying you. If you don't want to accept cookies, you should read the information that came with your browser software to see how you can turn off the automatic download feature, or alternatively see the section at the end of this statement entitled "How to find and control your cookies".
At various parts of our site, for instance when you take place in a live chat or sign up for one of our newsletters, we will invite you to submit your contact details and other information about yourself or your organisation, or to send us emails which will, of course, also identify you. In each case, the purpose for which you are invited to give us information will be made clear and we also indicate which of the requested information is essential for the relevant purpose and which is optional - fields for essential information are marked with an asterisk.
When you enter your details on our website we will give you the option to agree to our use of your details to send you information which we believe may be of interest to you (other than information that you have specifically requested). We will only use your information for purposes that are clear when you provide your details, and we will not disclose your information to parties outside BBC World News Ltd, except in very limited circumstances - for example, with your agreement or where we are legally obliged to do so. We may also use the information generally to improve the quality of www.bbcworldnews.com and for administrative purposes.
You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you and to have any inaccuracies corrected (we are entitled to charge a fee for an information request). Please address requests to BBC World News Web, Woodlands, 80 Wood Lane, London W12 0TT, U.K.
