This is called the right to data portability. It's the right to ask for and download personal information you've given us electronically, so that you can:
- Move
- Copy or
- Keep it for yourself
If you have a BBC account
You need to make a request to see what information exists about you on your BBC account. You can then send it to another company if you like.
What about other information?
This depends on what you're asking about. You'd need to contact us and give us more details to help us find it. Depending on what it is, we can then try and get it to you to share with another company.
Bear in mind, when we get back to you, we might need some identification to check that you are who you say you are.
There might be some occasions where we can't fulfil a request.
