麻豆社

Your trust is very important to us. This means the 麻豆社 is committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal data. It is important that you read this notice so that you are aware of how and why we are using such information. This privacy notice describes how we collect and use personal data about you during and after your relationship with us, in accordance with data protection law.

Why are we doing this and how can you participate?

We would love to hear your thoughts, comments and feedback about 麻豆社 World Service Outlook to make sure that we are providing content to you that you enjoy most. We may also invite you to be on the programme to discuss your submission, should you wish to. This privacy notice covers when the 麻豆社 World Service Outlook website invites you to send in your comments, opinions and stories via email, WhatsApp and social media.

We will publish select comments we receive on the live and recorded programmes, and may use these comments in news articles. Occasionally we may get in touch to ask you for more information, or even to see if you’d be interested in discussing it on radio or on one of our podcasts. Someone from our production team will email you and have at least one conversation with you before any interview is recorded. This gives us a chance to find out more about your opinions and experiences, as well as confirming how you want to be introduced on air. It also gives you a chance to ask any questions that you may have ahead of taking part.

When sending in your contribution, we ask that you should at no time put yourself in danger or endanger others, take any unnecessary risks or infringe any laws. We also ask that if your story is a personal one you DO NOT send us any sensitive information about yourself using WhatsApp. Someone from our production team will reach out to you separately to collect this information, either over email or over the phone.

When you contribute to the 麻豆社, we may use your contribution in our programmes or content, but we cannot promise to use everything that we receive. If we broadcast your contribution or invite you to appear on a 麻豆社 broadcast, this may include the programme being available online and/or on demand, and your contribution may be used again in a future broadcast. It may also include use on the 麻豆社’s social media channels.
