In some circumstances, we 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.

Sensitive or “Special Category” Personal Data

We may ask, if your local law allows, for your voluntary provision of race, religion and other Sensitive Personal Data as part of the Clear Channel recruitment process, to monitor our equality and diversity obligation (you can always decline to tell us).

Where permitted or required by law (which varies by jurisdiction), we will request that you self-declare pertinent current health conditions in order to allow you access to our premises, in accordance with government guidelines on public health. We keep our procedures under review to ensure they comply with recommendations in your jurisdiction.

If we are required to process your Sensitive Personal Data for any other repurpose, we will, where required by law, ask for your explicit consent.

“Sensitive or “Special Category” Personal Data” means Personal Data which may relate to: racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, trade union memberships, physical or mental health conditions or, genetic or biometric data that uniquely identifies you, your sex life or sexual orientation, religious or philosophical beliefs and the commission or alleged commission of any offence or related proceedings.. Where you do provide Sensitive Personal Data, we will keep it securely and for a proportionate amount of time, and only use that information in connection with the purpose for which it has been provided.

Use of Anonymised Data

 

We may purchase, or collect, anonymised, aggregated datasets relating to the performance of our Out Of Home advertising (such as billboards, street, roads, highways, transit etc.), or anonymised and aggregated transaction and purchase history from data providers. We do this to better understand the types of people who will see the advertisements we promote, on behalf of our advertisers. We do not seek to analyse Personal Data.

SDK and Beacon Data

Beacons are installed on our panels in a number of prestige sites (currently not used at scale) and they passively transmit a location signal, which can be detected by mobile devices. Your phone may try to connect to the beacon installed in our billboards. From time to time we engage with data partners which use SDKs in apps to detect the presence of the signal. SDK stands for “software development kit”, it is a piece of code that is built into an app that facilitates that app to collect location data. When these apps are installed, the user has the option of giving their consent to enable the collection of their location data to enhance their app usage. These apps provide a dataset that helps data partners best understand consumer journeys and where people go in the real world. The app providers may also send you targeted messages if they have appropriate consent in accordance with their privacy notice. However, all location data used by Clear Channel, that is transmitted by its partners, are aggregated and anonymous and we do not identify, track or target individual people.

Computer vision software on our panels

Computer Vision software is in standard use across the Out Of Home Advertising industry (such as billboards, street, roads, highways, transit etc.). When this technology is used, a camera installed within the screen is enabled which can recognise the basic characteristics of people (for example your gender and hair colour etc.) looking at the screen in order to personalise the advertisement they see. For example, an interactive advertisement might show a pair of sunglasses on a female or male character depending on the gender of person looking at the screen.

 

Our partners may process your Personal Data through their computer vision software that is embedded into our billboards when you pass by one of our advertising billboards, in order to measure your engagement with the advertisements we promote (such as the length of time you looked at the advertisement, or expressions). They then transfer to us the anonymised, aggregated datasets for us to better understand demographic audience reactions to the advertisements we promote, on behalf of our advertisers.

Personal Data capture software is subject to strict deidentification, information security and memory wiping procedures. We engage software providers that have been subject to data privacy impact assessments and signed terms agreeing to abide by Applicable Data Protection Legislation.

 

Your Rights

 

Under the GDPR and other applicable legislation, you have rights over your Personal Data. Those rights include (subject to legal and regulatory requirements):

Right to Rectification of Personal Data

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).

Right to Erasure or Restriction of Processing of Personal Data

You can ask us to delete or restrict processing of your Personal Data in some circumstances such as where we no longer need it or you withdraw your consent (if we rely on your consent for processing). If we’ve shared it with others, where possible, we’ll let them know about the erasure.

Right to Withdraw Consent

You have an absolute right to opt-out of direct marketing, or profiling we carry out for direct marketing, at any time. 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@clearchannelint.com.

Right to Portability

You can ask us to provide you with your personal data (that you provided to us or that we observed through your activities on our Platforms) in a commonly used and machine-readable format to send it to another controller.

Right to Object

You can object to the processing of your personal data in some circumstances (in particular, where we don’t have to process the data to meet a contractual or other legal requirement, or where we are using the data for direct marketing if we are not relying on your consent).

Rights in relation to Automated Decision-making and Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision when it’s based solely on automated processing or profiling which produces a legal or similarly significant effect on you. 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.

Right to Access 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.

These rights may be limited, for example if fulfilling your request would reveal personal data about another person, where they would infringe the rights of a third party (including our rights) or if you ask us to delete information which we are required by law to keep or have compelling legitimate interests in keeping. Relevant exemptions are included in both the GDPR and in the Data Protection Act 2018. We will inform you of relevant exemptions we rely upon when responding to any request you make.

To exercise any of these rights, or to obtain other information, such as a copy of a legitimate interests balancing test, you can get in touch with us using the details set out below.

If you require further information on your rights or our use of your Personal Data, please contact us at mydata@clearchannelint.com. If you have unresolved concerns, you have the right to complain to an EU data protection authority where you live, work or where you believe a breach may have occurred.
