Sharing your information

Your personal information will generally be restricted to relevant members of the Uncanny production team and crew, as well as the programme’s presenters, or as otherwise required by law. Where necessary, we may also share information with other 麻豆社 Studio staff and the commissioning broadcaster, with our professional advisors, and from time to time with other programmes that may have an interest in your contribution.

If we decide not to take your contribution forward your details will be deleted 12 months after broadcast. If you are selected to be part of a programme, 麻豆社 Studios and the commissioning broadcaster may retain some information relating to your contribution in perpetuity.
