By completing this survey, you enable UK Music and its member organisations to be more effective in speaking to government about issues that impact you. This would not be possible without us collecting economic data, tracked over time, to demonstrate how music contributes to the UK economy. This is why we ask you to complete this survey each year. This information will also help our member organisations research the music industry and advocate on behalf of their members.
How we will use your data: By taking part in this survey and providing your responses, you agree that UK Music and its members can use the data (including financial information and direct quotes from your responses to this survey in line with this privacy notice) provided for the reasons mentioned above. Please be assured that responses will only be analysed by UK Music and shared by UK Music with our member organisations after any direct identifiers have been removed meaning your data will become pseudonymized, and where possible anonymized. It will not be possible to anonymise your response if you include identifiable information (e.g. your name or a song title) within any open text boxes. To the extent any personal data is shared as a result of this survey, it will be subject to a data sharing agreement between UK Music and the relevant member organisations (listed at https://www.ukmusic.org/about/members/).Any personal data received will be handled carefully and in accordance with data protection legislation. UK Music will process your personal data in accordance with its privacy notice available here: https://www.ukmusic.org/cookie-privacy-policy/ and each member organisation will process your personal data in accordance with its privacy notice available on each of our member’s respective webpages (each member’s site is available via https://www.ukmusic.org/about/members/).This research is being conducted on behalf of UK Music by AudienceNet, a Company Partner of the Market Research Society (MRS). AudienceNet closely adheres to strict rules in relation to quality, ethics and data protection (e.g. GDPR), for our clients and research participants.
