It is here - https://www.bbc.co.uk/privacy/what-are-you-doing-with-my-data/<br />This bit however, being a 'licence free' home, did catch my eye.<br />"We share some of your personal data with TV Licensing to check if you are using BBC iPlayer and to keep their database up to date. Find out more about when you need a TV Licence."<br />I still can't listen to radio four on the web without signing in, although ANYONE can listen to the weather on their radio.

What are the chances they would say you do need a license as you have an aerial connected so could watch live TV if you so wished!Terminatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02745822619013630277noreply@blogger.com
