95% of consumers using catch up OTT video services are unwilling to allow media companies to share their personal data with a third party, according to the findings of the KPMG Media Tracker.

The survey of 1,500 households revealed younger consumers to be particularly concerned about data privacy, with 97% of 18 to 24 year olds refusing to allow their details to be passed on, regardless of the benefits offered in return.
