· In addition, following exploitation of Content, such information contained within the Content may be information manifestly made public by you and if so we will rely on the relevant provisions of the DPA 2018 for any further processing of that information.

‍Legitimate Interests
Where we rely on ‘legitimate interests’ as the lawful basis for processing data, such legitimate interests include our legitimate interests in making and exploiting Content for worldwide distribution. We only process data on this legal basis where we have considered that, on balance, our legitimate interests are not overridden by your interests, fundamental rights or freedoms.

The Special Purposes – public interest journalism//in pursuit of artistic purposes
Please note that the UK GDPR and DPA 2018 state that in certain circumstances we do not have to comply with some aspects of data protection law (including this privacy notice) if we believe that doing so would be ‘incompatible’ with journalism and/or artistic purposes (i.e. it would stop us from doing our job as a producer of Content), data is being held with a view to publication, and there is a public interest in publication. This is known as the ‘special purposes exemption’. We may process your personal data under the special purposes exemption in connection with Content. References in the above table to ‘processing undertaken in connection with public interest journalism/in pursuit of artistic purposes’ includes processing where we rely upon the special purposes exemption.

Consent
Generally, we anticipate that individuals will give their informed consent to take part in and work on Content that we produce. However, we may refer to or even feature an individual in Content without their consent provided we comply with relevant laws and regulatory codes, for example the Ofcom Broadcasting Code.

Where you have entered into a contract with us to participate in Content, we may be entitled to distribute and show the relevantContent whether or not you later change your mind about participation. Consenting to take part in Content, and our reliance on your consent to process your personal data, are two distinct, different things. We will not generally rely on your consent to process your personal data if you appear in Content. This is something which we normally do as part of our legitimate business interests, for contractual purposes and/or in connection with public interest journalism/in pursuit of artistic purposes.

Where we do rely upon ‘consent’ to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time, although please note that we may be relying on other lawful bases at the same time.
‍
Sharing your personal information
Your personal information is processed by our employees and staff. Sometimes we use third parties who are contractually engaged to provide services to us that may involve the sharing of personal information e.g. IT services, legal and accountancy services. We also may need to share your personal information with other organisations from timeto time including with:

· companies involved with our business activities e.g. broadcasters, SVOD platforms, post-production houses, sales agents, distributors;

· broadcasting regulators e.g. Ofcom;

· the police or other regulatory bodies as required by law in connection with the investigation of crimes. Although we are based in the UK, our business is global and so we may need to transfer your personal information outside the UK. Wherever your information is transferred to organisations outside the UK, we will ensure that adequacy regulations or appropriate safeguards, such as standard data protection clauses recognised or issued in accordance with the UK data protection regime, are in place to ensure the safety and security of your personal information and that it is processed in accordance with this privacy notice (unless an exemption applies).

‍How we store your personal information
We have implemented appropriate measures to ensure that your personal information is kept safe and secure e.g. by storing it securely, and by keeping electronic data on secure servers and hard drives with appropriate levels of security including encryption and firewalls. However, the internet is an open system and we cannot guarantee that unauthorised third parties will never be able to defeat those measures. We will only keep your personal information for as long as we need to. For those participating in our programmes, we are likely to retain your personal information for as long as is necessary in order to produce, exhibit, exploit, distribute, advertise, publicise and promote the programme in accordance with our legitimate interests and legal obligations. Personal information that is no longer required will be deleted/destroyed.

‍Your rights
You have a number of rights in respect of your personal information, including the right to object to and or restrict our processing of your personal data and the right to request:

· access to the personal information that we hold about you;

· that we do not process your personal information for direct marketing purposes; that inaccurate personal information we hold about you is corrected; that personal information is deleted; that your personal information is provided to you in a portable format. Please note that most of these rights are not absolute and are limited to certain defined circumstances. Accordingly, we may not be able to comply with any such request. If the basis of our processing of your personal information is ‘consent’ you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. However, note that your data may also be being processed subject to another lawful basis as set out above.
