This Privacy Notice is for individuals who contribute to on-air talent providing contributions to our productions (such as actors, musicians, presenters, writers and composers) and other contributors providing contributions to us (such as interviewees or those providing material like photos or the use of their property as a filming location). It also applies to individuals who have previously contributed to our productions.

Who collects information about you?

You also provide information in your contract with us and any other correspondence with us concerning your contribution, including your name, email address and address. If we pay you for your contribution, you may provide us with your banking details. We may also collect “Special Category Data” such as information about your health to assess your suitability to contribute to one of our productions, to obtain and administer insurance, and to arrange and administer any medical treatment you may need.

Such processing shall include, where necessary, sharing your contact information and bank details with third parties for the purposes of enabling payment of any residuals or other fees to the extent that these are payable to you in accordance with the terms of our agreement.

If relevant, we may also process information concerning your health, any disability and in connection with any adjustments to filming arrangements.

Your information may also be seen by managers and administrators (including, for example, our finance team) for purposes of production, broadcasting, distribution, marketing, administration and management.

We will only share your information with third parties outside our group where disclosure is consistent with a legal basis for processing on which we rely and where this is lawful and fair to you. We may disclose your information if it is necessary for our legitimate interests or the interests of a third party but will not do this if these interests are overridden by your interests and rights in particular to privacy.

Specific circumstances in which your information may be disclosed include:

Disclosure to external recipients of electronic communications (such as emails) which contain your information;
Disclosure of aggregated and anonymised diversity data to relevant regulators as part of a formal request;
If you have an on-screen role, 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.

Keeping your personal information secure

We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your information from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your information to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need-to-know. They will only process your personal information on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.

We have also put in place procedures to deal with any suspected data security breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so.

How long with you keep my information for?

We will keep the information we obtain about you when you provide contributions to us for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which it is processed. In general, we will keep your information until the production has been produced and for a period afterwards. In considering how long to keep it, we will take into account its relevance to our business and your contribution either as a record or in the event of a legal claim.

Some information, such as production footage of your contribution will be held indefinitely as we have an ongoing legitimate interest in retaining this.

Your rights

Under certain circumstances, by law you have the right to:

Request access to your personal information (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

Request correction of the personal information that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate information we hold about you corrected.

Request erasure of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal information where you have exercised your right to object to processing (see below).

Object to processing of your personal information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground. You also have the right to object where we are processing your personal information for direct marketing purposes.

Request the restriction of processing of your personal information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of personal information about you, for example if you want us to establish its accuracy or the reason for processing it.

If you want to review, verify, correct or request erasure of your personal information, object to the processing of your personal data, or request that we restrict processing your personal information, please contact Ruth Emerson in writing at ruth@rangabee.com
