Handing user-generated content over to a non-BBC archive
The BBC may have plans to collect material online with a view to handing it over in due course to a third party as a permanent archive. We should aim to be transparent with contributors about any likely future use of the material at the point they make their contribution. We should also bear in mind that their wishes should be respected. For example, if they are contributing to a permanent national archive, they may not expect their material to be exploited commercially.
