FREELANCE PAYMENT PORTAL – A SUMMARY FOR

FREELANCERS
(Cymraeg ar dudalen 7)

The BBC’s Freelance Payment Portal is where freelancers can update their personal details, view payments
due to them and claim payments once the work is complete. The portal can be accessed from the BBC’s
external freelancer website (search freelancer on bbc.co.uk).

The FPP is hosted on BBC servers and secured by the BBC firewall; the portal uses SSL security. This is the
industry standard method for securing data collected over the internet and is used by banks and internet
shopping sites. The system has been vetted and approved by BBC Information Security and the processes
around it have been checked by the Information Policy and Compliance Unit to ensure they conform to the
Data Protection Act.
