´óÏó´«Ã½

Your trust is very important to us. This means the ´óÏó´«Ã½ 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?

Our Rap Map website is an interactive map aimed at showcasing the UK rap scene by giving you, as an up-and-coming rapper, a place to share verses about where you’re from. The Rap Map is open to the whole nation, challenging young and hungry rappers like you to record your own hometown homage on your phone and upload it to our Rap Map.

You may be lucky enough to be selected by DJ Target to be played on ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s 1Xtra Show, and your rap will also be flagged to others on the Rap Map to show that DJ Target thinks yours is particularly good.

If you submitted a video to our Rap Map in 2020 during Rap Game Season 2, you and other users will also be able to toggle between your submission last year and this year’s submission.

We will collect your personal information for the purpose of producing and broadcasting Rap Map. The ´óÏó´«Ã½ production team will collect your personal information via an online platform used by the ´óÏó´«Ã½.

If your contribution is broadcast by the ´óÏó´«Ã½, this may include the programme and/or your contribution being available online and/or on demand, and your contribution may be used again by the ´óÏó´«Ã½â€¯in a future broadcast.

What ´óÏó´«Ã½ will collect and how we will use it?
