Data protection

“We require this information in order to carry out our duties to protect and manage the radio spectrum under the Wireless Telegraphy Act 2006. Please see Ofcom’s General Privacy Statement www.ofcom.org.uk/about-ofcom/foi-dp/general-privacy-statement for further information about how Ofcom handles your personal information and your corresponding rights”.

We always aim to improve our services and ensure we have the most up-to-date information about people's concerns and views. Information you provide may be disclosed to a research agency who may contact you to ask for your views on what we do. Information you provide will be used by Ofcom to handle your complaint, provide you with information and to take appropriate action.

Please read the following carefully.

Please untick this box if there are circumstances (e.g. risk of harm or damage) why your contact and/or complaint details should NOT be disclosed to the broadcaster and we will contact you to discuss your concerns. If we are unable to contact you - or if you do not give your consent - we will not pass your contact details to the broadcaster. Instead, in order to investigate your complaint, we may summarise your complaint and send that summary to the broadcaster for comment.

Terms and conditions

Ofcom can investigate the interference to your radio system under our commercial charging terms.

The terms are that if we find the problem is within your own radio system or from something which we consider to be under your or the user's control then we will charge for the investigation at £92.14 + VAT per man hour used.

If the source of the problem is external to the above there is no charge.

We also require the full name and address of your organisation for our records and the correct address for any billing that may result from the investigation if it is different.
