How is data used on BBC Box?

See how BBC Box gave people control of their viewing data and showed what really happens to it.

BBC Box is a prototype which pulls together data about what users watch or listen to and gives them control over who has access to this data. This animation shows what happened to data within the prototype.

Living with Data Project

Living With Data was a research project which explored people’s thoughts and feelings about uses of personal data by public sector organisations.

We produced visualisations of six specific data uses and asked people what they thought of them. We produced animations of the visualised data uses to inform the public about ways in which personal data gets used, and as resources for other projects.

We explain our choices and process on this page and share some quotes from our participants here.
