Your trust is very important to us. This means the BBC 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?
We are always on the lookout for new stories, pictures and news items to feature on BBC London News. If you have a story to tell or images to share on a breaking news story, send them to us at hellobbclondon@bbc.co.uk.
In some cases, the information you send may be used on BBC London News. We will publish your name as you provide it (unless you ask us not to) but we will never publish your email address. We may also contact you directly if we think your story could be used for the programme and would like to find out more.
We aim to read all your messages but due to the numbers we receive each day it is not always possible to reply to everyone individually.
When sending us pictures, video or eyewitness accounts you should at no time put yourself in danger or endanger others, take any unnecessary risks or infringe any laws.
The BBC will collect your personal data for journalistic purpose.
