Personal data

The organisation that is the controller or processor of your personal data will depend on the service to which it relates for example:



How we use your personal data and why



You won’t be able to use TVF unless you have agreed to its terms of use and this privacy policy.



Your personal data is not captured by TVF chrome extension.



Personal data for which TVF is the controller within the scope of the TVF Where this data is stored and processed



We do not store your personal data. We store your preferences within the use of the TVF chrome extension in which your personal information is not captured.



In some circumstances we may use services who may process this data outside of the UK. In this instance, TVF contractually ensures the supplier / business partner protects any personal data in line with GDPR and TVF’s requirements. This can be done in a number of different ways, for instance by ensuring:



  • the country the personal data is sent is approved by the European Commission
  • the supplier / business partner may have signed a contract based on “model contractual clauses” or “binding corporate rules” approved by the European Commission, obliging them to protect your personal information, or
  • where the supplier / business partner is located in the US, it may be a certified member of the EU-US Privacy Shield scheme.

Data Protection laws provide a number of rights to you. These rights are listed below.



You can exercise your rights by contacting the appropriate data controller.
