By supplying us with personal information, you agree to the terms of this policy. If you do not agree with the policy, you must not provide us with any personal information.

How do we collect and use your information?

CNBC may collect information about you in a number of ways:

One of the main ways in which we may collect information about you is through the registration procedure on our websites. We need this information to make sure that you can enjoy all the benefits of registration and so that you get the best out of our website. We may also collect information about you on other parts of our website but we will always tell you when we are collecting your data.

You may also let us have information about yourself in other ways such as if you write to us by post or email, if you call us or if you visit us. We may use this information to contact you about your letter, email, call or visit. We may also keep your details on our database in order to send you communications and other useful information about CNBC. If you don’t want us to use your information in this way you can tell us at any time by emailing telluswhatyouthink@cnbceurope.com or writing to us at the address above.

As we have explained above, we may use information that we collect about you to send you useful information about our channels or programmes. We may also ask you if you would like to receive information about the products or services of our business partners that we think may be of interest to you. We will not send you this information without your consent. Remember, if you do not want to receive any more information from us all you have to do is email us at telluswhatyouthink@cnbceurope.com or write to us at the address above at any time.

We will not usually pass your information onto any third parties without your consent. An exception to this is if we need third parties to carry out certain services for us. For example, in arranging events at which you are to participate as an invited guest. We will make sure that such third parties keep your information secure and no longer than is necessary. We will not pass your information to third parties outside the European Economic Area without your consent. Some of the information which you give to us (for example, whether you are a cable or satellite viewer) does not on its own identify you. We collect this type of information in order to identify trends in our business. It is known as “aggregate information”. We may pass aggregate information to third parties such as advertisers and business partners to give them a better understanding of our business. However, such information will not identify you personally. If our business is sold, your information will be passed to the new owner.

We have taken steps to ensure that all personally identifiable information that we collect is secure, including limiting the number of people who can access this information and using electronic security systems. You can help by ensuring that you keep your passwords secret and properly log out of our websites if you have been using them.

You have the right to request a copy of the personal information that we hold about you and to have any errors corrected. If you would like to make a request please write to:

From time to time we may make changes to this policy. We will post a notice of the changes together with the updated policy on our website at europe.cnbc.com This policy was last updated on 6 September 2006.
