    • Broadcasters and Creative Diversity Network (CDN) are monitoring diversity on UK television through Diamond. We have a legitimate interest in collecting diversity information about our industry, and if You provide Us with the child's name and Your email address we will enter this in a system called Silvermouse and You will be invited to provide diversity characteristics on behalf of the child. The characteristics You will be asked to provide are age dependent. The broadcasters and CDN, as data controllers, are responsible for this data and will retain the child's name and Your email address for this purpose in Silvermouse for as long as diversity is monitored by them. They also collect information about how viewers might perceive diversity on screen. Further information about Diamond can be found here: http://creativediversitynetwork.com/diamond/contributors/
