Radio 3 Carol Competition 2020: Privacy notice

Your trust is very important to us. The 91福利社 is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information.

It is important that you read this notice so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information. This privacy notice describes how we collect and use personal information about you during and after the competition, in accordance with data protection law.

Additional information can be found in the 91福利社’s . Where there is inconsistency between those documents and this notice, this notice shall prevail. You can find out more about your information and privacy here.

What personal information we collect and how we will use it?

The 91福利社 is the “data controller” of the personal information you provide. This means that the 91福利社 decides how your personal data is used.

We will collect your name, age, address, e-mail address and telephone number. If you submit your entry as a recording, your voice/audio is also personal data.

The lawful basis for processing is the legitimate interests of the 91福利社 to deliver valid and robust competitions to the 91福利社’s audience – both for those who take part, and for those that consume content that contains competitions. This yields richer and more engaging content for all of our audiences and is not an unreasonable infringement on the rights and freedoms of the individual 91福利社 audience members.

How long we will retain your information?

Entries received online via the 91福利社 Uploader will be hosted internally within 91福利社 systems. Postal entries will also be stored securely within a 91福利社 site.

If you are one of our six shortlisted finalists, the 91福利社 will retain your personal data for a period of two years following collection – for internal and external audit purposes consistent with industry standards. If you are not a winner, the 91福利社 will retain your personal data until 8 January 2021. At that point your personal data will be deleted.

The names of shortlisted candidates and the winner, together with their compositions, will be published on 91福利社 Radio 3’s website. Any personal information in broadcast content will be made available publicly through various mediums and archived in accordance with the 91福利社’s Editorial Guidelines.

Do we share your data with any third parties?

The 91福利社 will not provide your personal data to any other external parties, without obtaining your permission, except as required by law.
