If when requested you do not provide us with information necessary for the purposes of a Contract, we may not be able to fulfil our obligations under the Contract and you may not be able to participate in the Podcast.

If you opt in to be contacted by phone or email about our shows, products, projects and services and for your email and social media usernames to be used to generate and provide you with social media advertising related to us, we may use your email address, social media usernames and (where specified) your phone number (and other personal information such as your name, age category and general location required to administer your opt in) to:

If we use your email or social media usernames in this way we remain the Data Controller of your information and the relevant platform does not have the right to use your email and/or social media usernames (provided by us in this way) for its own purposes. If you would like further information about how this works please refer to the privacy information provided by the social media platforms you use.

You can unsubscribe to this marketing and advertising option by either emailing hello@captiveminds.com or using the unsubscribe option in any of the marketing emails that you receive or (if you are contacted by phone) telling us you no longer wish to be contacted.

How we collect your personal data

We will obtain most of your personal information directly from you or your representatives (if any). We may also conduct background checks to verify personal information about you if required for your Contribution or our legal obligations. These checks could include checks of information that is publicly available online, including information you have made public via social media and checks obtained lawfully from third parties engaged by us for verification purposes such as data intelligence services and any organisation authorised to provide basic criminal history checks. You may also be asked to provide us with documentation to verify personal information provided by you.

Our legal grounds for collecting and using your personal data

Personal data

Our legal grounds for collecting and using your personal information are primarily that it is necessary for the performance of the Contribution, the Contract (or to take steps to decide whether or not to enter into the Contract with you), and/or to pursue our legitimate business interests (for example to fulfil contractual obligations to you, the Podcast broadcaster and others), where those interests are not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

In addition, we will also use your personal data where necessary to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations.

There may also be situations over the course of the Podcast where it is necessary to use your personal data to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another individual.

We also sometimes rely on your consent, for example where you choose to be contacted by us by email for marketing purposes.

Sensitive Personal Data

We will use your Special Category Personal Data or criminal background data where necessary for one of the above grounds and where one of the following applies:

(i) we need to fulfil our legal and regulatory obligations and exercise our rights including those (where applicable) as an employer (for example, for the health and safety of our contributors, staff and others);
(ii) we need to protect your vital interests or the vital interests of another individual, where you are not capable of giving consent;
(iii) you have manifestly made the information public (including where you do so when participating in the Podcast);
(iv) for reasons of substantial public interest based on the law (for example where necessary for our health and safety obligations or for the purposes of a regulatory body’s functions or for insurance purposes); or
(v) where necessary for you to receive medical treatment from a registered medical professional.

Where we are using your Special Category Personal Data for editorial research purposes only and where one of the above does not apply, we will obtain your consent to our use of your Special Category Personal Data.

Sharing your personal information

We may share your personal information with other personnel from the Company on a need to know basis (such as HR, IT Legal and Finance), the Company’s affiliates and group companies, legal and regulatory authorities, insurers, the Company’s professional advisors and other third parties such as any potential purchasers of the Company and broadcasters and distributors of the Podcast. Your personal information will only be broadcast to the public to the extent it is included in the Podcast.

International transfers

Some of the people we share your personal data with may be based outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). When we send your personal information outside of the EEA to a country not recognised as providing appropriate protections, we put in place appropriate contracts or other safeguards to ensure your rights are protected.

Data retention

Personal information collected about you when you apply to, contribute to, present, participate or perform in the Podcast will be kept by us for as long as it is required to fulfil the Contract, to enable us to pursue our legitimate business interests, or for such longer period as is required by law or regulatory obligations which apply to us.

If you are not selected to participate in the specific series or episode of the Podcast that you applied for then in order to consider you for future series or episodes of the Programme and to contact you by email and/or telephone about future series of the Programme, we will usually retain your personal information collected for your Contribution until 18 months from the end of production of the specific series of the Podcast that you applied for.
If you are a presenter or performer and have been engaged by us to provide your services we will usually retain most of your personal data for the duration of your engagement and for a period of up to seven years thereafter but personal information relating to any payments made to you will be retained for up to ten (10) years thereafter (unless otherwise required by a legal obligation).

We will keep footage of you, personal information contained within the Contract, personal information required to fulfil any ongoing contractual payment obligations, any records of your participation in the Podcast and information contained in any publicity material for as long as necessary for the purposes of the Podcast – which may be indefinitely for airing, re-airing, and marketing of the Podcast (whether in whole or in part).

Your rights

You have certain rights in respect of your personal data which include:

(i) The right to be informed your personal data is being used (which is what this privacy policy is for).
(ii) The right to access your personal data.
(iii) The right to object to direct marketing.
(iv) The right to object to the use of your personal data.
(v) The right to withdraw consent to the use of your personal data where consent is being relied on for the processing of your personal data.
(vi) The right to erasure of your personal data.
(vii) The right of data portability.
(viii) The right to have your personal data corrected if it is inaccurate
(ix) The right to have your personal data restricted or blocked.

Please be aware that these rights are not always absolute and there may be some situations in which you cannot exercise them or they are not relevant. Please also be aware that, as explained below, these rights will not apply to the extent that they are incompatible with the Special Purposes.

To exercise any of these rights please contact us by emailing hello@captiveminds.com.

You can find out more information about your rights on the Information Commissioner’s website ico.org.uk. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner if you have any concerns about your personal data.

The Special Purposes

The General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the Data Protection Act 2018 (“the Act”) require us to use your personal data within the legal framework explained in this Privacy Statement and in accordance with your rights under the GDPR (which we explain above).

However, the GDPR and the Act contain an exemption which allows us and the Podcast broadcaster not to apply aspects of this legal framework and your rights if they are not compatible with the artistic purposes of the Programme and there is a public interest in broadcasting the Podcast. This exemption is known as the “Special Purposes” exemption. Consequently, please be aware that aspects of the legal framework explained in this Privacy Statement and your rights under the GDPR may not apply where they are not compatible with the Special Purposes.
