Each Platform is controlled by an individual Clear Channel entity as defined in its terms of use or otherwise.
Depending on how you use our Platforms and/or otherwise interact with us, we may ask you to provide us with certain Personal Data which identifies you (whether by itself or together with other information that we hold).
Clear Channel are committed to protecting your Personal Data in accordance with our internal policies and applicable European legislation.
“Personal Data” means personal information that identifies you as an individual or relates to an identifiable individual as defined under applicable European legislation (and in particular, the European General Data Protection Regulation 2016).
This Notice informs you of our practices from 25 May 2018 with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of Personal Data which you provide to us via our Platforms.
We may ask you for this Personal Data so we can effectively provide our products and/or services (together, “Products and Services”) to you.
It also covers how we may use your Personal Data in relation to any promotions, competitions, offers or marketing campaigns (together, “Marketing and Promotions”) we may undertake in whatever medium, or under our contractual obligations or other legitimate interests.
There may be occasions where it may be reasonably necessary for us to contact you for administrative or operational reasons in relation to your registration or use of our Platforms, your potential employment with us or use of or access to our Products and Services.
The Data Controller is Clear Channel International.
We may collect your Personal Data in the following circumstances (this is not a definitive list):

In some circumstances, we may request additional Personal Data to help us to provide you with the most appropriate response. If you do not provide the Personal Data where requested, your access to the service, or our ability to assist you, may be restricted.
We may ask, with your consent, for your race, religion and other Sensitive Personal Data as part of the Clear Channel recruitment process, to monitor our equality and diversity obligations. If we are required to process your Sensitive Personal Data for any other repurpose, we will ask for your explicit consent.
“Sensitive Personal Data” means Personal Data which may relate to: race or ethnic origin; political opinions; religious or other similar beliefs; trade union membership; physical or mental health; sexual life or criminal record. Where you do provide Sensitive Personal Data, we will ask you for explicit consent to Clear Channel to use that information solely in connection with the purpose for which it has been provided.
Under the European General Data Protection Regulation 2016, you have rights over your Personal Data in certain circumstances. Those rights may include for example the right to request we amend or delete your Personal Data; the right to withdraw consent; the right to know the purposes for which your Personal Data is being processed and the recipients to whom your Personal Data may be disclosed (subject to legal and regulatory requirements).
If you do not agree to your Personal Data being used in accordance with this Notice please do not submit your Personal Data to us through the Platform or any other means.
If you require further information on your rights or our use of your Personal Data, please contact us at mydata@clearchannel.com.
We assume responsibility for keeping an accurate record of Personal Data once you have submitted the information, but not for confirming the on-going accuracy of your Personal Data if you do not update us.
If you advise us that your Personal Data is no longer accurate, we will amend or update it (where practical and lawful to do so).
You can ask us to delete or restrict your Personal Data in some circumstances such as where we no longer need it or you withdraw your consent (if consent is applicable). If we’ve shared it with others, where possible, we’ll let them know about the erasure.
If, at any time, you have consented to us processing your Personal Data in the circumstances or purposes described above, and you no longer wish to have your Personal Data processed in this way, you may unsubscribe by pressing any unsubscribe facility or by emailing mydata@clearchannel.com
You have the right to opt out of receiving direct Marketing and Promotions communications, including
communications you have previously consented to, by:
If you have provided your consent and you withdraw your consent to receive any further Marketing and Promotions communications from us, we will not contact you further for the purpose of direct marketing. However, we will not necessarily remove your Personal Data from our database(s) if we consider it is fair and necessary to retain the Personal Data for legitimate and legal reasons. This may include our obligations to comply with regulatory requirements.
You have the right not to be subject to a decision when it’s based on automatic processing or profiling. We only carry out this type of decision-making where the decision is necessary for the entry into or performance of a contract; or authorised by Union or Member state law applicable to us; or based on your explicit consent.
We will always tell you if we do any such activity using your Personal Data.
Where permitted by law, you may have the right to contact us to request a copy of Personal Data that we hold about you. Before responding to your request we may ask you to (i) verify your identity and (ii) provide further details so we can better respond to your request.
Our Platforms are not intended to target children under the age of 13. We will not knowingly collect or process Personal Data belonging to children via our Platforms.
We will not send you information relating to third party goods and services from outside Clear Channel unless specifically requested.
Where links from our Platforms are provided to non-Clear Channel websites, we are not responsible for those websites and nor do we imply endorsement of the linked websites. These third-party websites will be governed by different terms of use (including privacy notices) and you are solely responsible for viewing and using each such website in accordance with the applicable terms of use. We are not responsible for how your Personal Information is handled by such third-party websites. These websites are not covered by this Notice.
Your Personal Data (and commercial information) will be kept as confidential and as secure as possible. We employ appropriate technical and organisational measures consistent with our legal obligations and standard industry practice. Further, as required by the European General Data Protection Regulation 2016 we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of Personal Data which you have given to us, to prevent unauthorised access as far as reasonably possible.
We use industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your Personal Data, including “firewalls” and Secure Socket Layers. We treat your Personal Data as an asset that must be protected against loss, alteration, destruction and unauthorised access and which our employees must keep confidential, and we use many different security techniques to protect your Personal Data from unauthorised access by users’ inside and outside of Clear Channel. We also use internal protections to limit access to users’ Personal Data to only those employees who need the Personal Data to perform a specific function. It is impossible to guarantee security but we commit to taking appropriate action in the event of a breach.
Other than to Third Party Data Processors governed by a data processing agreement which replicates the terms of this Notice, as elsewhere provided for in this Notice, where it is necessary to involve a third party service provider for the performance of our contractual obligations or by operation of law, we will not transfer identifiable, non-aggregated Personal Data to third parties.
Clear Channel International is the lead entity for a Group of businesses, Clear Channel International Limited, registered address, 33 Golden Square, London W1F 9JT. The Parent company of Clear Channel International is Clear Channel Outdoor a publically listed Company. From time to time, it may be necessary to transfer Personal Data collected by Clear Channel amongst the Clear Channel Group and its US parent company together with their data processors, in our legitimate interests.
Non-European countries may have data protection laws that are less protective than the legislation where you live. Where this is the case, (such as the United States), our transfers of data will be regulated by the EU standard contractual clauses relating to the transfer of Personal Data outside of the European Union (or outside of jurisdictions deemed “adequate” for data privacy by the European Union). We will not transfer your data outside of the European Union for any other reason than described in this Notice, unless we are required to do so by operation of law or with your consent.
If Clear Channel or its assets are sold to or merge with another entity outside Clear Channel, you should expect that some or all of the Personal Data collected by Clear Channel may be transferred to the buyer/surviving company. If so, we will seek to obligate the acquiring company to use any Personal Data transferred in a manner consistent with applicable legislation and this Notice, but cannot guarantee that it will be able to impose that requirement or that the acquiring company will comply.
If you have provided us with Personal Data, your Personal Data will be retained for the duration of your relationship with us, the length of time required by applicable legislation, or otherwise a reasonable period of time (and we or our third party data processors will amend or dispose of your Personal Data when no longer necessary).
