Effective Date: October 2026

The Warner Bros. Discovery Alerting Program (Alerting Program, Alerts) is an emergency warning service used in urgent situations to contact Skydance workforce population and event participants with key updates and information to help them make informed decisions to improve safety in the event of an emergency. It is available to Skydance workforce and others who choose to enroll, including our contractors, their employees, and our guests and visitors. This privacy notice explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal information in connection with the Alerting Program.

We collect information in connection with the Alerting Program in a variety of ways, including by text message enrollment, email submission, mobile apps (such as Alerts or any other authorized company apps used for this purpose), self-service portals, websites (including wbdready.com), and paper forms. The Alerting Program can be used in urgent situations to contact you, quickly disseminate information, and deliver instructions via email, automated phone or text message and via a push notification on an app, depending on the nature of the situation and the time of day.

Information We Collect

To administer and provide Alerts, we may collect the following categories of information about you: (1) identifiers such as name and contact details (including personal email address and telephone number); (2) online identifiers such as IP address or device identifier; (3) professional or employment-related information such as your employment status, job/position title, details of travel arrangements you made through our services, and contact information we maintain in our personnel records; and (4) geolocation data (if enabled by you through your device settings).

How We Use Your Information

We may use your personal identifiers and personal, professional or employment-related information to contact you by any means available to us (including email, phone call, automated phone or text message, or push notification) to notify you of: (1) situations where we legitimately believe we need to contact you urgently about a real or threatened emergency or unsafe situation (e.g., active shooter or natural disaster); (2) crisis management or disaster recovery efforts designed to protect individuals who participate in the Alerting Program or Skydance assets, property, infrastructure, and systems; (3) to test the effectiveness of the Alerting Program and our sites or services; and (4) to validate or update data, including your contact information.

We also may use online identifiers and geolocation data to help recognize your device and to provide alerts to address safety concerns based on your location (e.g., sending an update about area forest fires to everyone within a designated area).

Legal Basis for Processing

It is in our legitimate interests to process your personal information for the purpose of ensuring the safety and security of Skydance workforce and event participants.

Sharing of Information

We may disclose the categories of personal information identified above for the purpose of coordinating emergency mitigation actions. For example, in an emergency, we may share your personal information, including your location, with emergency first responders and government authorities. To provide the service, we may also share your personal information with entities in the Skydance group of companies and external service providers (such as IT system suppliers). We do not sell your personal information.

International Data Transfers

As we operate internationally, your personal information will be stored and processed in the United States. Data protection and privacy regulations in the United States may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world, such as the European Union or Canada. We ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the personal data processed in connection with the Alerting Program. If you are in the European Union, we safeguard data transfers by using EU Standard Contractual Clauses or by relying upon its service providers’ participating in a European Union approved international data transfer.

Data Retention

The personal information you provide will be retained for a reasonable period to effectuate our legitimate interests, but not longer than the duration of your employment or your engagement as a consultant, contractor, production team member, other business affiliate or event participant. For employees, that will generally be the duration of your employment and for others, such as production team members or event participant, it will generally be the duration of your participation in the production or an event.

Change of Control

We may also transfer the personal information you have provided in the event of a business transaction or change of control (such as if it or one of its business units or its relevant assets are acquired by, sold to, or merged with another company, or otherwise transferred as a result of reorganization, consolidation, or liquidation), where it may be necessary for the new business owner to contact you in the event of an emergency.

Security

Appropriate technical and organizational procedures designed to safeguard the information we collect have been put in place.

Your Rights

Privacy laws may give you the right to make requests related to your personal information. For example: if you are a resident of the European Union or Switzerland, you may have the right to update, delete, object, restrict or have access to the personal information that you have provided in connection with the Alerting Program. Residents of the European Union may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority established in their country.

If you are a resident of California, you may have the right to ask us for information about the categories or specific pieces of personal information we collect, for information about the categories of parties with whom we share information, or to delete your information. 

To exercise your right to make such requests, Paramount Skydance employees can go here, and Warner Bros. Discovery employees can go here.

Updates to This Notice

We may update this privacy notice to reflect changes in our privacy practices at any time. When we do so, we will update the Effective Date of the privacy notice, above. We encourage you to periodically review it.
