1. Important information and who we are
Privacy notice
This privacy notice gives you information about how C15 collects, receives and uses your personal data as part of your receiving our programme content via one of channels made available to you via any one of our channels’ licensed distribution platforms or by visiting this website.
We do not knowingly collect data relating to children, nor do we do so via this website.
We draw your attention to paragraph 9 of this privacy notice in respect of updates and changes to it.
C15 is an audio-visual content provider of broadcast programming (whether as owner or authorised licensor) of the F1 Channel, ONE Championship TV, SquashTV, DP World Tour channel and Triton Poker free streaming television channels (in this privacy notice, ‘Channels’). We distribute the Channels via C15’s arrangements with leading entertainment distribution platforms such as Samsung TV Plus, Pluto TV and LG Channels (Distribution Platforms). As such your personally identifiable information (‘Personal Data’ or ‘PD’ in this privacy notice) in limited form may be collected by such Distribution Platforms as part of your subscription, reception and/or use of the Channels and subject to applicable terms and conditions to which you as a Distribution Platform user and/or subscriber adhere and as may be provided to you in the territory or country in which you reside.
Accordingly as Channel content provider we are enabled by the Distribution Platform owner (as applicable), to use your PD in the context only of your approved receipt of advertising content that we wish to deliver to you as part of your viewing experience and we do this under our arrangements with our ‘Advertising Partners’ such as Magnite Inc and Nexxen Group LLC (as are further set out below in paragraph 5) which as technology service providers deliver advertisers’ content where you enable this to occur as part of your viewing experience.
Accordingly, C15 may process a limited amount of your PD (to which we refer further in paragraph 2 below), and we share this PD with C15’s Advertising Partners in accordance with this privacy notice for the purposes of enabling your receipt of such advertising content. In that context our Advertising Partners will be either controllers or processors of your PD for such purposes.
We receive your PD from our Distribution Platform providers generally as a processor of such PD and subject to the contractual safeguards made between C15 and each such Distribution Platform. C15 may also act as a controller of your PD in specific circumstances.
C15 is a company registered in Dublin, Ireland, with a UK establishment and place of business in London, UK and we comply with both UK and Irish (and European) data protection laws including UK GDPR and EU GDPR. C15 also has a parent entity established in the United States to represent its activities there, and C15 complies with relevant US State laws to the extent applicable in respect of any PD that may be collected and processed in the United States.
Further information on the entities from which we may receive your PD, or with which we may share your PD, is set out in paragraph 4 and paragraph 5 below. Your PD may be transferred to such entities outside of Ireland (and the EU) or the UK and in such cases we refer to the information set out in paragraph 6.

- Automated technologies or interactions.

Legal basis
Applicable laws require us to have a legal basis for collecting and using your PD.

We do not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by applicable laws).

6. International transfers
As referred to in paragraph 5 above, our external third parties (Distribution Platforms and Advertising Partners) are based outside Ireland and the UK (and the EU) so their processing of your PD will, in some circumstances, involve a transfer of personal data outside those territories.
Whenever we transfer your PD out of Ireland or the UK to countries which have laws that do not provide the same level of data protection as the Irish, EU or UK laws (as applicable), we ensure that a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are implemented:
- We use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK or the EU which give the transferred personal data the same protection as it has in Ireland or the UK, namely the International Data Transfer Agreement or the International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for international data transfers, as applicable. To obtain a copy of these contractual safeguards, please contact us at the contact details set out at paragraph 1 above.
- Whenever we transfer your personal data out of Ireland or the UK to service providers, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by ensuring that the following safeguards are in place: We use specific standard contractual terms approved for use in the UK or the EU which give the transferred personal data the same protection as it has in Ireland or the UK, namely the International Data Transfer Agreement or the International Data Transfer Addendum to the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for international data transfers, as applicable. To obtain a copy of these contractual safeguards, please contact us at the contact details set out at paragraph 1 above.

7. Data security
We have put in place appropriate security measures to prevent your PD from being accidentally lost, used or accessed in an unauthorised way, altered or disclosed. In addition, we limit access to your PD to those employees, agents, contractors and other third parties who have a business need to know. They will only process your personal data on our instructions and they are subject to a duty of confidentiality.
We have put in place procedures to deal with any suspected personal data breach and will notify you and any applicable regulator of a breach where we are legally required to do so.
8. Data retention
How long will you use my personal data for?
We do not generally retain any PD for longer than is necessary to achieve a technical delivery of Channel content to you; such that we will only retain your personal data for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for (including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or reporting requirements).
We may retain your personal data for a longer period in the event of a complaint or if we reasonably believe there is a prospect of litigation in respect to our relationship with you.
To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal, regulatory, tax, accounting or other requirements.
In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your PD: see paragraph 9 below for further information.
9. Your legal rights
You have a number of rights under data protection laws in relation to your personal data. Under Irish and UK laws;
You have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data (commonly known as a “subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.
- Request correction of the personal data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new data you provide to us.
- Request erasure of your personal data in certain circumstances. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove personal data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your personal data where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your personal data to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
- Object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) as the legal basis for that particular use of your data (including carrying out profiling based on our legitimate interests). In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your right to object.
- Request the transfer of your personal data to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
- Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your personal data (see the table in paragraph 4 for details of when we rely on your consent as the legal basis for using your data). However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
- Request restriction of processing of your personal data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in one of the following scenarios:
- If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy;
- Where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it;
- Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or
- You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
-
-
If you wish to exercise any of the rights set out above, please contact us at the contact details set out at paragraph 1 above
No fee usually required
You will not have to pay a fee to access your PD (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request is clearly unfounded, repetitive or excessive. Alternatively, we could refuse to comply with your request in these circumstances.
What we may need from you
We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal data is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it. We may also contact you to ask you for further information in relation to your request to speed up our response.
Time limit to respond
We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it could take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex or you have made a number of requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.
10. Complaints
You have the right to make a complaint at any time to the Data Protection Commission (DPC), Ireland’s regulator for data protection issues (www.dataprotection.ie/en) or the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK regulator for data protection issues (www.ico.org.uk). We would, however, appreciate the chance to deal with your concerns before you approach the DPC or ICO so please contact us in the first instance at the contact details set out at paragraph 1 above.
11. Changes to the privacy policy and your duty to inform us of changes
We keep our privacy policy under regular review.
This version was last updated in March 2025.
Older versions can be obtained by contacting us.
It is important that the personal data we hold about you is accurate and current.
Please keep us informed if your personal data changes during your relationship with us, for example a new email address.
12. Third-party links
We may enable you to access links to third-party websites, plug-ins and applications. Clicking on those links or enabling those connections may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.
