4.1          We and our content and service providers may use cookies and/or other forms of locally stored data, including locally shared objects on your YouView device to store their own settings, preferences and other personalised information, and/or for content protection. A cookie is a small data file, often including a unique identifier that is stored on your device. Other forms of locally stored data can be used in a similar manner.
4.2             We and our content and service providers will use cookies and locally stored data in accordance with our and their own privacy policies, so you should always read our privacy policy and the privacy policy of each content and service provider whose content and services you access to stay fully informed of our and their privacy practices.  
4.3              We provide you with the ability to clear cookies and locally stored data stored on your YouView device, which you can do at any time via the Settings menu on your YouView device by conducting a factory reset within YouView Settings. If you delete them this may cause some services not to work correctly or as well as they might otherwise work – for example you may need to log into a service again even if you have already logged in before.
4.4    Please see the Cookies Policy on our website at http://www.youview.com/cookies/ for more information on cookies that we collect on our website and what we do with them.

We will use and store information about you as set out in this Privacy & Cookies Policy in accordance with the below:
5.1    for the YouView Service - for so long as you use the YouView Service (based on the last date you used the YouView Service) and thereafter for a period of two years;
5.2    for any support or feedback queries – for as long as it takes us to respond to your query/request and thereafter for a period of six years; and
5.3    for any newsletter you receive from YouView – for as long as you would like to continue receiving information from us.

6.1    We will share your personal information with the following categories of third parties:
(a)    content and service providers and sub-contractors, suppliers of technical and support services, internet service providers and contact centre providers;
(b)    companies that assist us in our marketing, advertising and promotional activities as well as the management of our triallist and forum platforms;
(c)    analytics providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of the YouView Service; and
(d)    third parties responsible for keeping your YouView device secure.
6.2    We will only share personal information to the extent this is necessary to enable the third providers mentioned above to provide their services to us and under a strict duty of confidence.
6.3    These third parties will be required to comply strictly with our instructions to keep your information safe in accordance with industry standards and relevant legal requirements. We will also require that they do not use your personal information for their own business purposes, unless you have explicitly consented to the use of your personal information in this way.
6.4              In addition, we will also disclose your personal information to third parties:
(a)    where this is necessary to comply with applicable law or regulation, in response to a lawful request from a law enforcement agency or court of competent jurisdiction, or where we believe disclosure is necessary to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights or those of our content or other service providers; and
(b)    in the event that a third party acquires some or all of our assets or business, the information we hold about you and your YouView device will be transferred to that third party so that they can continue to provide the YouView Service to you.
6.5     We may disclose and use anonymised, aggregated reporting and statistics about users of the YouView Service for the purpose of internal reporting or reporting to our content and service providers or other third parties, and for our marketing and promotion purposes. None of these anonymised, aggregated reports or statistics will enable our users to be personally identified.
6.6    Finally, in certain circumstances, we may transfer some of your non-personal information to our service providers who may be able to combine that non-personal information with other data that they already hold.  To the extent that this becomes personal information, these service providers will only use such personal information for the purposes set out above in this Privacy and Cookies Policy.
6.7    Save as expressly detailed above, we will never share, sell or rent any of your personal information to any third party without first seeking your consent.

7.1    From time to time, some of our service providers may provide services to us from territories that are outside the UK or the European Economic Area (the "EEA"), such as the USA.  Territories outside the UK and EEA may not offer the same level of protection for personal information as the UK or members of the EEA.  
7.2    However, if we provide any personal information about you to any such non-EEA service providers, we take appropriate measures to ensure those service providers protect your personal information adequately in accordance with this Privacy & Cookies Policy. These measures may include:
(a)    in the case of US based service providers, entering into European Commission approved standard contractual arrangements with them, or ensuring they have signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield (see further https://www.privacyshield.gov/welcome); or
(b)    in the case of service providers based in other countries outside the UK or EEA, entering into European Commission approved standard contractual arrangements with them.
7.3    Further details on the steps we take to protect your personal information, in these cases is available from us on request (please contact us as set out in section 12 /"Contact Us" below).

8.1    We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect both the security of information stored on your YouView device and information that we collect from you (including personal information) and your YouView device. Although we make every effort to protect the personal information which you provide to us, as with any internet-connected device, no internet transmission can ever be guaranteed 100% secure, so you should always take care whenever disclosing personal information about yourself online. Any such transmission is at your own risk and once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to prevent unauthorised access.
8.2    Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access your online account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

(f)    restrict the way that we process your personal information;
(g)    provide your personal information to a third party provider of services (data portability);
