Privacy Policy

Global Listings: Our Privacy Policy

Introduction

Privacy is essential to Global Listings Limited; for our clients, our staff and all other individuals whose data we may collect for the purposes of carrying out our business.

The information within this privacy notice explains: why we collect the data that we collect, how we use that data, how it is stored, and how to get in touch with us if you have any questions or concerns.

The services covered by this Privacy Policy include: distribution of TV programme information via email; Global Listings’ websites and other online services; finance, recruitment and HR.

We encourage all of our clients, staff and other contacts to read the policy carefully and contact us if they have any questions or concerns relating to it.

Data Controller

Global Listings Limited’s data controller can be contacted at: data.controller@globallistings.info or by telephone on +44 (0)20 7702 4436.

Information We Collect

The information that we collect varies according to the individual and the purposes for which we are collecting the data.

For media contacts to whom we send TV programme information materials, it is limited to:

Name, Job Title, Company Name, Business Email Address, Business Telephone Number, Business Address

This information is collected in a number of different ways. In some cases it is when members of the media proactively ask Global Listings or our broadcast clients to add them to mailing lists. In other cases, we research via publicly available outlets (such as media organisations’ own websites) to identify the individuals at those organisations who should receive TV programme information relating to our TV channel clients. Our basis for so doing is the Legitimate Interest element of the GDPR legislation and we have conducted and documented a Legitimate Interest Assessment on this basis.

For staff (full time and all others) and language editors, this is provided by the individual to us with their consent and is limited to:

Name, Email and Postal Address, Contact Telephone Number, CV, Subject Areas of Expertise, Language Combinations, Fees

For contacts who wish to be added to our newsletter mailing list and proactively complete the Newsletter sign-up field on the Global Listings websites (i.e. with their consent):

Email address

For contacts who complete the Contact Us form on the Global Listings websites (again with their consent):

Name, Company Name, Email Address, Phone Number

How We Use The Information We Collect

For members of the media, we use the business contact data to deliver TV programme information (for example, TV listings schedules, programme highlights information, Electronic Programme Guide files etc) via email. You may choose to opt out of receiving this information at any time by contacting us (details are provided in every such email that we send).

For job applications, we use the information for assessment purposes and – in the case of translators and language editors – we store their details (as listed in the previous section) in our secure database and use it to identify translators’ suitability for specific projects.

For newsletter sign-ups and messages received from the ‘Contact Us’ area of the Global Listings website, we may use your email address to send you newsletters that you have consented to receive, or to respond to your message/query.

We never sell any of the personal data that we store to anyone else.

Legal Basis For Using The Information We Collect

For our TV programme information distribution to the media, our basis for storing the information is the Legitimate Interest element of the GDPR legislation and we have conducted and documented a Legitimate Interest Assessment on this basis.

All other types of data processed (applications received for recruitment purposes, messages received from our websites, newsletter sign-ups) are covered by the Consent element of the GDPR legislation.

Personal Data Storage and Security

The personal data described above is held on Global Listings’ secure servers. Global Listings has implemented security standards with the inclusion of very strong firewall policies, data access management policies as well as the inclusion of fully updated anti-virus systems and email virus/spam filtering.

Personal data is stored as long as it is needed for us to honour our contractual obligations. When we dispose of personal data, we do so securely.

Your Rights In Relation To Personal Data

We fully respect the rights of data subjects to access and control the personal data that we store.

Your rights include:

We may also need to contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to help us enact your rights in accordance with the law.

We will try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. However, occasionally it may take us longer if your request is particularly complicated or you have made a number of requests. In such circumstances, we will notify you.

We may withhold personal information that you request to the extent permitted by law.

Smithsonian

I continue to be VERY happy and impressed with your GL teams. Thank you so much for everything!

Just wanted to say a big thank you for all the GL help we received during our transition of all our channels from Sony to Narrative.
