You'll need to sign in to your BBC account to use parts of the BBC online, including BBC iPlayer, BBC Sounds and BBC Sport.

Signing in unlocks a BBC that’s personalised to you. And as a public service, it allows us to check we’re making something for everyone.

Keeping your information safe and secure is our top priority. We’ll always make it clear what we’re doing with your details and data.

Sign in and we can help you discover more things you’ll love. For instance, if you watch lots of science shows, we might tell you about a new series from Brian Cox.

If you’d rather we didn’t make the BBC more personal to you, you can always opt out. This means you won’t be able to do things like:

• Get personalised newsletters and recommendations about things we think you’ll like
• Pick up where you left off with programmes you’re watching.

Once a child has registered, they’ll need permission from a parent or guardian before they can use certain features.

We share some of your personal data with TV Licensing to check if you are using BBC iPlayer and to keep their database up to date.

As a public service, BBC creates something for everyone. We can give you more of what you love when we understand you and your online behaviour better.
