We will use this information to contact you if we are interested in finding out more about your opinions before any footage is broadcast.

Comments made publicly online or emails sent to the Points of View email address may be broadcast without further permissions necessary.

We do this in case we wish to contact you for the next series or have any questions about your contribution. If we feature your video or comment on Points of View then your information will be further retained for that purpose.

If you contact the show and we do not use your comment, your comment and any personal data you submit along with it will be securely deleted after three months.
