This provides a richer and more engaging experience for our audiences and is not an unreasonable infringement on the rights and freedoms of individual s.

There’s an unsubscribe link if you’d like to stop the email reminders, and we won’t keep sending them if you stop reviewing your sessions. You can turn off push notifications at any time using your device settings.
How long we keep your personal information
The BBC will keep your personal data for a period of 2 years – for internal and external audit purposes, unless a longer retention period is required by law. We will delete your personal data after that point.
Sharing your personal information
We won’t share your personal data with any other organisation (apart from Cerego LLC) without letting you know, unless we have to by law.
