The personal information that BNM may collect on an individual will vary depending on which of the above categories apply to an individual. Sometimes an individual’s name, address and phone/fax/e-mail details will be sufficient. Sometimes we may need to collect sensitive information on individuals such as health, age and employment/trade related experience and credentials. We will not collect sensitive information if it is not necessary for the purposes of selecting candidates to participate in our television game shows or related activities.
Personal information will be used to ascertain applicant’s suitability to participate in our television game shows or related activities.

We store personal information for varying periods of time depending on the purpose for which it is collected.

Once we determine that we no longer require the personal information it will be destroyed in a secure manner.
Subject to some exceptions you have the right to request access to any personal information held by BNM, which relates to you, in accordance with the NPPs. Sometimes it may be impractical to provide you access to this information without cost. For example, provision of information which is very old or held on program tapes.

Ordinarily, copies of personal information held in files or electronically can be provided for nominal handling/postage fees. In order for you to access information you must provide us with sufficient information to enable us to properly identify you. Any requests for access must be made in writing to the contestant co-ordinator of the program in which you appeared if you were a contestant or for all other matters to the Privacy Officer at the address below. If personal information held by the Organization is inaccurate or out of date you have the right to request it to be updated or corrected. If there is a dispute as to whether the information we hold is correct or out of date the Privacy Officer will endeavour to resolve this.
We will make copies of this privacy policy available upon written request. Due to the changing nature of the personal information we may collect and our business, we reserve the right to change this Policy from time to time as our needs dictate.
