7.1 Introduction The flames david guetta coverBBC respects privacy and does not infringe it without good reason, wherever in the world it operates. The law protects the privacy of individuals and private information about them, but balances that with a broadcaster's right to freedom of expression. In regulation, the Ofcom Broadcasting Code[1] states 'Any infringement of privacy in programmes, or in connection with obtaining material included in programmes, must be warranted.'[2] An infringement of privacy is considered in two stages, requiring justification for both the gathering and the broadcasting of material where there is a legitimate expectation of privacy. Legitimate expectations of privacy will vary according to the place and nature of the information, activity or circumstances in question, the extent to which it is in the public domain, if at all, and whether the individual concerned is already in the public eye. There may be circumstances where people can reasonably expect privacy even in a public place. Some activities and circumstances may be of such a private nature that filming or recording, even in public, could involve an infringement of privacy. People under investigation or in the public eye, and their immediate family and friends, retain the right to a private life, although private behaviour can raise issues of legitimate public interest.
