- Data Protection in News Gathering
We collect data (also known as "editorial information") to provide our news and other information services. Sensitive personal data and other substantial personal information about persons may be included in editorial content meant for publication. When it is practically possible, we try to adhere to the pertinent data protection principles and respect the privacy rights of those who make headlines.
Unpublished information or footage on people and topics of widespread interest may also be recorded and kept for an extended period with the intention of future publishing. Examples include background research for articles, event content, or longer-term data that is kept for creating
content. At least every two years, we aim to examine this data and remove any that we believe is inaccurate or no longer relevant.
Our published news and features online are also shared on social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Twitter. They can be syndicated to third-party publishers in any UK or international media. Although Africa is the primary focus of our websites, anybody can visit them from anywhere in the world. We shall retain copies in searchable online archives following first publication on our website. Vital historical records may be found in these archives. Their purpose is to be retained permanently. Unless required by law or there is a significant update or an error, we will not remove, annotate, or alter the archives.
We provide spaces for individuals to leave comments on news articles and other topics on our websites and social media pages. These posts, which can include personal information, are automatically submitted by the poster without our involvement. Although we have user terms and an acceptable use policy that we may enforce against users upon receiving a complaint, the poster is ultimately responsible for this content and gives their agreement for its processing. There is a link to "report this post," and we will use it to address issues.
