Do you share my data with other organisations?
Last updated: 28 September 2016
We keep your data inside the BBC and use it to give you services or improve your experience. This means we only share it:
- When you ask us to or give us your permission
- To give you a service you’ve requested. For example, we use specialist companies to provide services for us, like sending email newsletters
- To provide content and services to you through a partner’s platform (like a TV set-top box)
- For regulatory or legal purposes.
If you use our website or apps outside the UK, our advertising partners may use your data to show you adverts on BBC services and elsewhere online.
When we share your data outside the BBC…
We will:
- Always share it in a secure way
- Make sure it’s treated consistently with our privacy promise
- Not allow other companies to use it to contact you with their own marketing.
When we share your data within the BBC
We might share your data across different parts of the BBC for research, analysis, marketing or TV Licensing purposes. This might include commercial parts of the BBC, like BBC Worldwide when it’s necessary to give you a service you’ve asked for. For example, when you buy something from BBC Store. You can read BBC Store’s Privacy Policy here.
