- Maintain, secure and improve our websites;
- Enhance your experience when using our websites, including displaying personalised content recommendation and remembering your place in a video so you can continue to watch it across different devices;
- Display and deliver more relevant advertising and marketing on the basis of broader audience segments (and not based on your personal information); and

SBS may need to make some data available to authorised third party service providers to do this, including through the use of tracking technologies. We require that these service providers have appropriate controls to protect your personal information in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy and can only use the data for the purpose of providing these specific services to SBS.
SBS continuously reviews analytics requirements pertaining to our website and the use of trackers.
