DRAMA REPUBLIC’S PRIVACY POLICY
In this policy Drama Republic Limited whose registered office and principal office is at 11-15 Emerald Street London WC1N 3QL (“DR” or “we”) inform you about how we collect, use and disclose personal data from and about you, through this website www.dramarepublic.com and any of our associated mobile sites, apps, interactive services such as Instagram and Twitter (“DR Services”). This Privacy Policy does not cover any applications you make to take part in any television programmes we produce and/or our recruitment processes as these are subject to separate privacy policies.
What and who this Privacy Policy covers?
Drama Republic Limited is the data controller of the personal data (e.g. information that identifies a specific person, such as full name or email address) we collect from and about you through the DR Services. This Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy applies to all users, including both those who use DR Services without being registered or having subscribed and those who have registered with or subscribed to a DR Service. DR Services are for a general audience, are not targeted at children, and do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 years of age.
What kind of personal data do we collect about you?
We might collect data from and about you when you (i) submit questions or material to us, (ii) register on this site or (iii) e-mail us.
DR may collect:
Registration data: information you submit to register for a DR Service (if made available by DR), for example to create an account, post comments, receive a newsletter. This data may include, for example, name, surname, email address, gender, country, postcode and age.
Public data and posts comments or content that you post on DR Services (e.g. on DR’s Twitter or Instagram account) and personal data about you that accompanies those posts or content, which may include a name, user name, comments, likes, status, profile information and picture. Public information and posts are always public, which means they are available to everyone and may be displayed in search results on external search engines.
Data from social media: if you access or log-in to a DR Service through a social media service or connect a DR Service to a social media service, the data we collect may also include your user ID and/or user name associated with that social media service, any information or content you have permitted the social media service to share with us, such as your profile picture, email address or friends lists, and any personal data you have made public in connection with that social media service. When you access DR Services through social media services or when you connect a DR Service to social media services, you are authorizing DR to collect, store, and use such personal data and content in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Activity data: when you access and interact with DR Services, we may collect certain information about those visits. For example, in order to permit your connection to DR Services, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device and browser, including potentially your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information. If you access DR Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, geolocation data, or other transactional information for that device. Cookies and other tracking technologies (such as browser cookies, pixels, beacons, and Adobe Flash technology commonly called Flash cookies) may also be collected. These technologies may be used to collect and store information about your usage of DR Services, such as pages you have visited, the video and other content you have viewed, search queries you have run and advertisements you have seen (see our Cookie Policy).
Information from Other Sources: we may supplement the information we collect with information from other sources, such as publicly available information about your online and offline activity from social media services and commercially available sources.
Information from you: if you supply us with your contact information or any other information as part of any customer support we provide you with or if you make a complaint or enquiry or provide other feedback to DR we will collect that too.
We do not collect:
Sensitive Information: We ask that you do not send us, and you do not disclose, any sensitive personal data (such as national insurance numbers, information related to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religion or other beliefs, health, criminal background or trade union membership) on or through DR Services.
Linked Services
DR Services may also be linked to sites, including social media sites, operated by unaffiliated companies (such as broadcaster, distributor sites) and may carry advertisements or offer content, functionality, games, newsletters, contests or applications developed and maintained by unaffiliated companies. DR is not responsible for the privacy practices of unaffiliated companies, and once you leave DR Services or click an advertisement you should check the applicable privacy policy of the other service.
How do we use your personal data?

i) allow social sharing functionality; if you log in with or connect a social media service account with DR Services, we may share your user name, picture, and likes, as well as your activities and comments with other DR Services users and with your friends associated with your social media service. We may also share the same personal data with the social media service provider;
