大象传媒

Your trust is very important to us. This means the 大象传媒 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 personal data. 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?

The 大象传媒 is producing a new open submissions show to develop new comedy writers/performers. Submissions can be based on what’s happened that week, month or even so far this year so long as the sketches or jokes are funny and feel relevant to contemporary popular culture.

You can participate by uploading written/audio material each week to be considered for use on the show. The material must be your own work and any audio should only include your solo voice. For all contributions that appear on the show, a flat fee will be paid to you depending on the type of material used.

The 大象传媒 will collect your personal data via an online platform used by the 大象传媒.

When you contribute to the 大象传媒, 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, 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 大象传媒’s social media channels.

For information in relation to how the 大象传媒 will process your personal data where you are providing contributions to our programmes, please see our Privacy Notice for Contributors .

Who is the Data Controller?
