50:50 Contributors database

If you would like to be part of our growing database of potential contributors, helping BBC teams feature more diverse voices in their content, please complete and submit the form below.

At 50:50 we collate your information and make it available to BBC production teams. It will be up to those teams to decide whether to contact you, so the information you provide below is important. BBC content-makers will do their own due diligence when they get in touch as 50:50 does not recommend experts or contributors, so being included on this database is not an endorsement.

50:50 Contributors Database privacy notice

This privacy notice describes how we collect and use personal information about you that you have provided in accordance with data protection law. The personal information is your name and contact details and gender. We are also inviting you to provide your ethnicity and whether you have a disability which is known as special category data. The BBC will hold your personal data securely in a database of experts and contributors that is available internally to be consulted when selecting contributors for BBC content. There is no guarantee that you will be contacted or asked to appear in BBC content.

The BBC is the ‘data controller’ of your personal information. This means that the BBC decides what your information is used for, and the ways in which it is processed. The BBC will rely on your explicit consent to collect and use this information for the purpose of selecting contributors for BBC content, and you are asked to tick the consent box when completing this form before submitting your information. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us at [email protected]. The BBC may also share information on the database with independent production companies who are making content for the BBC. We use other companies to help us deliver the database and may ask them to process information about you for us.

The BBC will retain your information for three years. It will then be reviewed to check accuracy and whether you still wish to remain on the database. If you would like the BBC to delete your data, or would like to amend or update your personal data, please contact us at [email protected]

If you have any questions about how the BBC handles your personal information, or you wish to find out about your rights, please visit the BBC’s Privacy and Cookies Policy. You will also be able to find out more information about how the BBC processes your information and how you can contact the BBC’s Data Protection Officer. Where there is inconsistency between the Policy and this notice, this notice shall prevail.

If you raise a concern with the BBC about the way it has handled your personal information which is not resolved to your satisfaction, you are entitled to lodge a concern with a supervisory authority. In the UK, the supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
