Awards Red Carpet Viewing Areas Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

BAFTA has always believed in being open about what data we collect from members of the public and what we do with it. New EU legislation called the GDPR now sets out comprehensive requirements for all companies handling the personal data of EU citizens. This includes a number of things we must tell you of when we collect data from you. We have provided all the information you need as simply and clearly as possible through this Privacy Policy using a question-and-answer format.
